Sophie cannot decide with whom she wants to live. You are her mother and are free to move with here when and where ever you deem fit. As long as you are feeding, clothing, putting a roof over, and not subjecting Sophie to any criminal danger it would be extremely difficult to find that you are an unfit parent.
