The child's biological mother was an addict, but the worst of her vices -- crack cocaine, PCP, heroin and methamphetamine -- were nothing compared to the alcohol that had ravaged Ellie's developing brain in the first trimester of pregnancy.

love is supposed to be unconditional rite? so if the kid turned out to have ms or als would she have given the kid back then too?
but she only wanted a perfect kid

they had the kid for seven years. I cant imagine giving back any kid of mine no matter how many probs they had after even a day let alone seven years. youd have to have a heart of stone.
of course theyre going to say the kid is a terror.. they have to justify what theyre doing rite so they dont look like total monsters. they care more about their biological kids than the adopted kid thats the bottom line
at least for the kids sake she found a new home with people willing to be her parents. she got lucky. most kids that age dont get readopted.
