Advice needed - Birthmom addicted to heroine and extended family wants contact
Need some advice please. Our bmom is currently in treatment (and pregnant). Has been in and out of addiction and we don't want contact until she is clean and stable. We are uncertain that will ever happen. Her family has been torn up by it and does not want to lose contact with our DD or us. We have only had two visits with them and our DD is 2 years old.
We are going to go to our agency and tell them the situation but would really appreciate hearing from any of you that have dealt with anything like this. We want our DD to know her birth family eventually and in a year will be old enough to at least make connections/have memories.
We are torn between just holding off on any contact until we know more because the whole birth family is in crisis or, just keeping visits to birth grandparents and birth greatgrandparents. They are a close knit family.
Help. Thanks.
