Default Need Some Desperate Advice!

As most of you know my DH and I have custody of our 8 yr. old granddaughter. I believe we are doing a good job with raising her. She is in 3rd grade and A/B student. She doesn't go without and we have provided for her 100% without any help from any other family members who by the way want to tell me what is best for her and don't want to lift a hand to help! I do get a small check $165.00 from the state because her Mother and Dad DOES NOT support her monetary wise because that is what the court wants. They don't have to pay to help us which I think is ridiculous.
I have recently found out she is allergic to peanuts, eggs and potatoes. And numerous weeds, trees, grasses and mold. We can deal with that.
Here comes the problem. My stepson, Adrienne's uncle and his new bride want us to give them Adrienne. They believe they can provide better for her. I AM NOT giving her up without a fight! They don't like the idea of me seeking counseling for her. She has very bad anger issues and I believe with all my heart they need to be addressed. Since I am with her more than any of them, including all the family members combined I feel that it is in my right to do so. They are so afraid she will be put on drugs for her problems and I am not opposed to that but they are. Please tell me I am right in sticking to my ground and they are wrong!
Oh by the way her Mother was arrested yesterday for violation of her probation.
