This reminds me so much of what Boodersmom was afraid of when she came to this forum. She was reminded of a birth parent's supreme rights.
Oceania - you have rights too. You have the right to grieve and cry and rage and even hate. A child who would have been safe and loved with you was killed by the indifference of those who should have protected him -- the government and the birth mother.

I am so sorry. Please be kind to yourself. There was nothing that you could have done to prevent this. I know that if I were you, I would be running every conversation around in my mind, trying to see if a different phrase could have changed the past. If you had pressured the sweet baby's mother, you would have been wrong. No one could have foreseen this. Certainly not you.

Hug your beautiful little girl tonight, and remember how good it feels to be her mommy. Remember all of the things in your life that you are grateful for. Try and find peace.

your family and the 4 unfed, unbathed, frightened children living in a car all have my prayers and thoughts.
There is nothing you could have done, you can not second guess events that you had no control over. I'm so sad for you and the children. (((hugs)))

I can only imagine the rage and the pain you must be feeling right now. In my line of work I have seen many children abused and a few killed and it broke my heart. I just don't know how I could handle the situation if I knew the child and was emotionally involved with them. I am so sorry for your loss. You and that poor baby will be in my prayers.
