[THE PRACTICE-36]

he would be proving to be the "better" parent.

My response:

Why did you put the word "better" in quotes? Please define what you mean by "better."

I wasn't replying to anyone (no quoting in my post), just stating the fact that having a kid usually makes people change their life, but in this case, mom has already had 2 kids that didn't make her improve her life, so chances might be that the third kid won't have an effect either.
But if dad is clear, in every way, of any type of drugs, then obviously he would be proving to be the "better" parent.

Definately a situation of the lessor of two evils.

No child should be raised by drug addicts. Even if two years off drugs is considered amazing in the drug world, it's still a drop in the ocean when it comes to a life time of teaching kids values, morals, selfrespect and common sense.
Since mom is still addicted to drugs and dad (allegedly, mind you) isn't, he would be a more reasonable and worthy a chance, although VERY supervised, but like I said, IMO none is a good parent for a special needs child.

Please remember folks...OP thinks it's fine that the "mother" fed his child a narcodic. He still has "wet brain"...He should not be given a baby to raise.

I think we ALL agree this is an awful situation...but legally, Dad does have a chance at getting custody of this baby. (IF he fights for it and IF the child is more important than his love life)

Well...Lets hope that he figures out that he is no way able to give this poor child what it will need...After all...He didn't bother to "fight" to have the mother stop giving the child drugs....

I (and I think LdiJ is as well) are referring to the DAD. He's got 2 years sober and has never had any children taken from him. I think the only 'chance' in this situation is if Dad dumps Mom and moves on with his new life with the baby.

I do question Daddio. He has been on the methadone for TWO years. He is not over his addiction, he is milking the system for a high.

I also question Daddio for knocking up a drug addict.

This child deserves the best care possible, and it is with neither of them.

Come on, he moved to NJ but had no address to give the doc?

For drug addicts....I guess something (methadone) is better than nothing!!

Although TWO previous babies did not make her straighten up her life, what are the chances baby # 3 will?

Yup. This child deserves BETTER than to have a two time child neglector as their parent! For pete's sake, just because she can keep procreating does NOT mean she is in any way REALLY capable of putting the CHILD'S NEEDS first. If she cared about the child's needs she would NOT have subjected the baby to damaging chemicals. She's PROVEN, by letting her child be born addicted, that she simply isn't willing to do what it takes to be a capable, RESPONSIBLE adult and raise AND SUPPORT her child.

The ONLY chance this kid has at a REAL future is if mom and dad relinquish their rights and let this child get a stable home from the start. The child should not be left with them to experiment and see if, maybe they might, possibly, be able to rise to the occasion and be the attentive, involved and well-informed parent this now-damaged child, with learning, attention and other prenatal disablities, truly will need!

Cranky?

Sorry I came in late. I had to take kiddo to religious school and then basketball league practice.

Since you seem to have all of the answeres....why are you posting here????

Are you going to argue every point that is brought up, or are you looking for correct legal advice, and willing to put your personal feelings/attitude aside?

The only point I'm arguing is that I live in a cardboard box.
