    Unfit Parent is Wanting To Adopt
    It's my own mother. I grew up putting up with mental and some physical abuse. Now she wants to adopt children and run a foster home too! She is really awful and I have always thought she's had some mental issues. I feel it's gotten worst as she aged. Who can I contact about this? I really feel taking on children is a big commitment that she is not equipped to handle.

    That doesn't mean she can't be decertified if they get new info.

    I'm just looking for contact information to the proper authorities. It would help if anyone can explain the process. Would they need any proof of this behavior? What can I do?

    Find out the name of the director of the agency that certified her. And yes you would need proof of your claims. Generally they do an investigation before certification.
