You need to get legal help right away. If the state terminated your parental rights you are going to have to do a lot to prove that you have changed your life around in order to even request that they be reinstated. While the courts prefer that children stay with their natural parents and foster a relationship, they will not put a child in situation that could be potentially dangerous. The best interests of the child are what determines the status and placement. And really that should be everyone's focus.
