[QUOTE="DDD, post: 508036, member: 35"] There are so many tragic consequences for children and alternative parents. Society pays so dearly for the selfish and/or unthinking reproductive choices made by unfit parents. I always keep hoping that there will be changes made in our system that will end the cycle. The older I get the more pessimistic I become. Sigh! What a vicious cycle. I do know that locally CPS takes newborns directly from the hospital after birth when the parent has a known history of substance abuse or dangerous parenting. On two occasions I was the advocate for small children via the Court and the Moms were scared to death that when they had their new babies the hospital would notify CPS before they could check out and head out of State. Both tried to circumvent the system with-o success. Years ago I used to think that unfit Moms would want to have their tubes tied. How naive I was. DDD [/QUOTE]
