I have been contacted by a friend, whom i have lost contact with over the last several years due to the lifestyle she has chosen. She is pg with her 6th child (1st two were taken by their father, 3rd adopted to a great family, and 4th & 5th taken by cps due to drug use and neglect). She wanted to know if my husband and i would be interested in adopting this baby, as she had heard my husband and i have been ttc with no luck. I have talked to her about this and tried desperately to convince her to keep her baby, as i know this is the best place for him, with his mother. She has been drug free during this pregnancy (cps requires random drug test). I have researched shelters and transitional living facilities that have offered to help her get her kids back (currently with cps) and get back on her feet. Even with this help, she feels that she can't keep him because she wants to focus on getting her babies back and staying drug free. What should I do?
