[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 583298, member: 16024"] Hi, Patriot's Girl! I know how hard this is for you, and just know that you are doing the right things. I am so glad I found this forum. It is so difficult to talk to others without the fear of being judged and blamed. We are going through something similar. Our difficult child is a male whose girlfriend is due to give birth and day now. Only difference is that I don't think she is on any drugs, but then, who really knows? We would have paid for an abortion if asked, but she was already 6 months along when we found out. We still pray they will give it up for adoption but they are way too selfish to do that. We too are standing firm on on not enabling them to keep the child. We would adopt the child and raise it ourselves but we won't support them financially to allow them to keep it and continue to not work and take drugs. The hope is that it will be too much trouble for them and they will release him for adoption, or they will step up to the plate and become responsible parents. Anyhow, we will have CPS on speed dial. If they start asking up to provide necessities and we feel they are neglecting the baby or not able to give it what it needs, we will call. I know how you feel when talking to the in-laws. My hubby still hasn't told anyone on his side about the baby. He is so ashamed. His nephew of the same age as difficult child is pre-medication, other niece and nephew are college grads and both starting their own businesses. I had to tell hubby's mom not to ask hubby about difficult child anymore because it just upsets him. Stay strong, I will check back for updates on your situation! [/QUOTE]
