A:
Sorry but it is really hard to figure out what your question is and say anything helpful. This is what I can say, don't post any details of your case here on Justia because there really isn't any privacy here on the internet. Two, any time a case involves CSP and the Juvenile Courts here in Oregon, the parents have the right to request a court appointed attorney, so you should focus on asking for a court appointed attorney if you don't have one.
If you are dealing with your own issues such as mental illness or drug or alcohol abuse, you can ask for services where you get help stabilizing your situation and often CSP will work to help you get stable and be reunited with your child. On the other hand if you are not able to reach a stable situation, one alternative would be either placing the child with someone else as a guardianship or possibly an adoption. If adoption is the only option you would ask that it be an open adoption so you retain visitation rights.
I can sense that you are distraught and heart broken and I do wish you the best of luck in finding the good solution. Please, whatever you do, keep in mind that you have to put your daughter first and do what is best for her, even if that is not what you want.
