Well it is up to the court. However you are now actually taking care of the children and that is good,the judge will look at that as well as the physical condition of your mother. I see know reason why the judge would deny you your rights exspecially since you are in councling and your daughter also. The judge may want to be up dated on your councling for a while to make sure you atsy on the right track. It sounds like your really trying and the court does want the children with their parent or parents if at all possible. You have not been clean that long so the judge may also want to see you in some kind of thrapy for drug abuse. I hope that if you get custody back that you are serious about keeping your children because you might not get a third chance. The kids need you.
