[QUOTE="donna723, post: 171992, member: 1883"] Well, supposedly she didn't want to take the methadone and was given "something else" instead, just not sure what that "something else" is. It sounds to me like swapping one addiction for another. But whatever it was, she was specifically told NOT to get pregnant while on it and she did! She's always been very slim but 98 pounds is pushing it, even for her. My brother and sister in law have seriously considered trying to get custody of the two year old - he's there most of the time anyway and they've supported him since he was born. The only thing stopping them is the "system" here. Grandparents have very few legal rights. If they went to court to get custody, they would have no problem getting it, considering the circumstances. But the way they do it here is that even if a relative (grandparents) want the child, CPS takes custody first. The child would go in to foster care for at least a few months while they investigate the family and do home studies, and then after all that B.S., they could finally have the child come to live with them legally. That means this little guy would be taken away from everyone and everything he knows (even them!) and be living with total strangers for several months. Right now they're the only stability he has. He's with them most of the time now as it is and they can keep a pretty close eye on things, and they just can't bear the thought of him being taken off with total strangers and living in foster care, possibly for several months! So they will go for legal custody only as a last resort. [/QUOTE]
