[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692507, member: 1550"] You don't have to breastfeed here. A BOTTLE IS JUST FINE. You do have to feed kids more than candy. Chances are they will (parents) have time to take parenting classes, learn nutrition, and keep the house In better condition. CPS wants to keep families together and will go overboard unless there is proven abuse. PHYSICAL ABUSE OR DRUG USE AND OTHER THINGS TOO. This familk will probably be monitored now. Good idea taking pictures. I did foster care and adopted one child from foster care Every placement we had had substance abuse involved as an issue. Yet my son Sonic, who was born with cocaine in in his system and syphilis was not completely removed. His birthmother, who had received no prenatal care and left the hospital without taking her son, had four years of court chances to get clean and regain custody. Scary. She made money selling herself and lived in a violent area where there are no jobs..Nobody sets up businesses in our city's war zones. This was CHICAGO'S worst crime infested area at the time and she had no future. Fortunately for Sonic, his birthmother didn't show up for any court hearings. No relatives could take him and he was our foster child so we finally got to legally adopt him and feel very blessed. He is an angel and so loving. However, a dad, it took the courts FOUR YEARS to terminate this absent mothers parental rights. This after she had walked out of the hospital AMA without taking him. She had also relinquished four other drug exposed special needs babies to her mother. Her mother was very poor and overwhelmed and did not want to take Sonic too. Because we were fostering him we were happily able to adopt him. GET THIS. To give birthmother a chance to get her kids back, before we had Sonic, she had been sent to rehabs ELEVEN times on taxpayer dollars. She left early each time. That is how far they may go to reunite kids with even inept mothers. Crazy. She didn't want any of her kids. But the social workers did not give up, knowing her history of drug abuse and profession. Yes, it is terrible here too. No argument from me. On the plus side, they are more willing to give child custody from abusive parents to blood relatives. If this woman who started the thread wants custody, she could possibly fight to get it. She is grandma. Grandma is first in line. CPS is very strange and erratic. Thanks for your thoughts. We shall see. It IS better here. I pray for this terrible situation to end well for grandma and baby. [/QUOTE]
