Hi There, I'm new to this board so please bare with me. We were placed with a 3 week old girl 5 months ago. As you can imagine, she is the light of our lives. However, we recently found out that the state has located the birth father who is interested in parenting her. Needless to say, we are very worried about the outcome of this nightmare. The father has a criminal record, drug and alcohol issues, and is homeless, but is determined to do what it takes to get custody. Has anyone else been in this position? Can you offer any suggestions or words of consolation? Thank you for you time.
