    #1, get a lawyer and file for custody yourself if you are the father... otherwise contact the authorities ASAP for the welfare of the child.

    In fact Call Child Protective services first... if you are the father, get your lawyer to petition the court to gain legal custody.

    The more you put into a question the better we can answer it. Your question leaves more questions before we can answer it.

    Who are you? What is your relationship to the mother, the child? Define abandoned? Where is the father? Have you been named guardian? What is it you want to do?

    Give us a fuller story so we can help.
