Temporary custody can become permanent if the biological parents are deemed unfit parents by the state.

Probably your best course of action is to have dad file a motion for return of custody to him in the case where grandma was given temporary custody. That will get you before the court at which point you can ask to speak to the judge directly and tell him/her what your wishes are regarding custody.
