This is horribly sad all around. I’d say this is why we need legal and safe abortion, but clearly this woman wouldn’t have been in her right mind enough to get one. She wasn’t in her right mind when she got pregnant, or through the whole pregnancy. I know this baby will get the help it needs but then who will care for it? I’m not religious but I pray to whatever in the world that this baby doesn’t end up in some foster care situation.

As for the bio mom, she is unfit to have the baby (obviously) but she won’t get the help she needs. She’ll be punished, and that makes sense, but that won’t make her a better person - for herself, or this baby. Unfortunately it is very difficult, if not impossible, to come out of addiction this bad. She won’t change until she wants to and in her state, that ain’t gonna happen.

I’m so sorry this whole situation has happened. As a new parent, it breaks my heart that this baby was already born into a world of chaos. It didn’t ask for this, it doesn’t deserve this.
