We had foster cared a newborn baby girl in New York city for six months and were prepared to adopt her, but the mother realized she would lose some funding and got “cleaned” up real good for the court date. They took the baby from us and gave it back to the crack addicted mom.
Being in New York, I have no idea what happened to the little girl afterwards.
The baby had tremens after birth and I would sit up at night and rock her through the withdrawals. I also would have put a bullet into mommy and daddy without one skipping a heart beat.
God bless you for giving that baby comfort.
Oh my goodness, that is so awful. Good for you and your family for taking in that precious baby and giving her the best months of her life. I hope her situation eventually turned out okay; she is bound to have been removed from her birth mother’s custody again.
God bless the wbarmy family!
