Sloane,
Right now, it appears Children's Aid have custody of the child, and they have placed the child in your care.
This statute would apply to your circumstance
Child and Family Services Act R.S.O 1990 CHAPTER C.11
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca:81/ISYSq...AA49.tmp/6/doc
Is their a written agreement between the CAS and the parents?
Temporary Care Agreements
Temporary care agreement
29. (1) A person who is temporarily unable to care adequately for a child in his or her custody, and the society having jurisdiction where the person resides, may make a written agreement for the society’s care and custody of the child. R.S.O. 1990, c. C.11, s. 29 (1).
You would have to bring forth an application with the court's under the
Children's Law reform Act R.S.O. 1990 c. C.12
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca:81/ISYSq...AA49.tmp/6/doc
Section 21
Application for custody or access
21. A parent of a child
or any other person may apply to a court for an order respecting custody of or access to the child or determining any aspect of the incidents of custody of the child. R.S.O. 1990, c. C.12, s. 21.
Have you consulted with the CAS of your desire to obtain custody of the child? You would have to name them as a party to any court proceedings. It's best to get them to support your wishes.
The Application form that you would have to fill out is Form 8 - Application (general) which can be found here. In child protection matters the CAS uses form 8B exclusively.
