A: It sounds like you are deeply concerned about the well-being of your godson and want to provide him with a safe and loving environment. To address this situation, you may need to take several steps to advocate for his best interests. Start by documenting everything, including your godson's statements about wanting to live with you, your communications with CPS and DHS, and any incidents or concerns about his current placements.

Next, consider seeking legal assistance to help navigate this complex situation. Look for a family law attorney who has experience with custody issues involving Child Protective Services. You might also contact organizations that advocate for children's rights, such as the National Center for Youth Law, to see if they can offer any support or guidance.

In the meantime, try to maintain open lines of communication with your godson as much as possible, and continue to be a strong advocate for him. Gathering support from other adults who know him and can vouch for his desire to stay with you might also be beneficial. Stay persistent and focused on his best interests, and continue to seek legal and community resources to help resolve this situation.
