[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 601382, member: 15801"] PG - I am so relieved they picked her up.... I didnt think it would take long. It is distressing that she had meth in her system although not surprising given that she had basically gone awol from you. You and husband do have a lot to discuss.... and I think there are more options than losing track of baby Connor all together and you completely raising him. There are a lot of open adoptions these days.... I have a friend who has a daughter (adopted) my daughters age... I dont know the whole story but they had contact with the bio grandmother until the grandmother died. So it may be possible for you to still be invovled in his life without having to raise him yourself. I suggest you to talk to DCF and find out what options you have.... let them know you want to be involved but are not sure about adopting him yourself. The other thing is in most cases DCF starts with the premise of reunification and so when they take him would he be in foster care giving your difficult child another chance to get her life together, or would he immediately be available for adoption?
