If someone has guardianship over a adult because they have a disability and that adult has a baby does the guardian get to make the decision on whether u can keep the baby
In Illinois, guardianship of an adult doesn't automatically grant guardianship over the adult's child. The parent retains their parental rights unless proven unfit. However, the guardian can independently seek guardianship over the child, if it's in the child's best interests.
