29. The daughter did not bring it out into the public.

Her mother did because she was worried about her. I can respect the daughter's privacy and the mother's concern for her daughter both at the same time. In other words, the details of the daughter's illness are hers to keep until, and if, she should chose to discuss them in public.

Now we should just be glad she is fine and wasn't in harms way.

Her biological mother was a junkie. Xithras Aug 2015 #14

Oh, bless her heart. Ilsa Aug 2015 #18

Maybe the breast milk and love of her natural mother would have been beneficial to Chelsea. StevieM Aug 2015 #33

That's not always possible. Ilsa Aug 2015 #36

Rosie didn't take on a hard job--she stole another woman's baby. StevieM Aug 2015 #39

Is there a system? Yes. Was it working? Ilsa Aug 2015 #50

We don't know the extent of her drug problem, only that she could not truly grant consent StevieM Aug 2015 #40

I'm a good mom, honest! Except that one time I got so wasted I gave baby up for adoption. lumberjack_jeff Aug 2015 #41

A wasted woman does not consent to an adoption, because a woman under the influence StevieM Aug 2015 #42

A woman under the influence CANNOT RAISE A CHILD tkmorris Aug 2015 #44

Kayla's REAL mom was not under the influence all the time. And if she was unfit to raise a child StevieM Aug 2015 #46

Right. Baby should not be taken away until and unless mom sobers up enough to understand. lumberjack_jeff Aug 2015 #45

Please share your information on the biological mother tazkcmo Aug 2015 #51

There is no evidence that Kayla (Chelsea) was a FAS baby. And yes, Rosie adopted her children StevieM Aug 2015 #54

You just contradicted yourself in your own link. Xithras Aug 2015 #56

First of all, anyone with a criminal record can technically be said to be "in and out of jail." StevieM Aug 2015 #57

I agree with Chelsea's REAL mother. If she signed papers while under the influence of drugs, StevieM Aug 2015 #30

I would imagine that she had the credit card company look into this dsc Aug 2015 #11

They think she may have gone looking for her birth mother who she located last year... bettyellen Aug 2015 #13

I hope that she has reunited with her natural mother. Bonding with her would be good for Chelsea IMO StevieM Aug 2015 #27

I'm not sure I'd want to bond with a Mom who sells her dirty laundry to the National Enquirer.... bettyellen Aug 2015 #31

Why don't we let Chelsea decide that? I am betting that Rosie isn't so willing to let Chelsea make StevieM Aug 2015 #34
