I will need help in understanding the worst case scenarios to my baby in permanent guardianship.

We are non-us citizens, living temporarily in US, had baby girl with down syndrome recently. We worried about providing the care in our situations and the baby's future living conditions in our home country where we have very minimal support from society and govt.

After few weeks of thought process, we decided to place the baby in other good family. With our criteria, we inquired for interested families through various public networks, got interest from one family who is willing to take permanent guardianship after we explained our situation to them. They mentioned that we would want us to relinquish parental rights and then judge would review periodically about future of the baby with this family under permanent guardianship.

We like the family but we are worried about future of the baby if judge would decline the guardianship at some point in our baby's life. Is there anyway we can protect the baby if PG is terminated for some reason. Can you post with reasons why judge would terminate the guardianship?

We live in different state in US currently. We may not live long term in US and would you think it's better to hire Florida local lawyer? Do we need to be in contact with judge once guardians become permanent even if we live in this country? Can we add any conditions to the agreement to protect the baby and our family from guardian family?

I would appreciate if you can answer to this. I will ask additional questions if somebody can answer these in my scenario.

If you terminate your parental rights you will have no legal standing to the child.
