I need to know how I go about signing guardianship of my child over to somebody? DFCS went out to my mom's house looking for me. I reached out over the phone to see what they wanted. Told me they want to meet with me and my kid. I'd like to sign guardianship over to her dad before meeting with them. It's in my child's best interest I do that instead of them trying to throw her into their broken foster care system
