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

when she "signed."

If a woman has such a bad drug problem that she cannot parent, there is a court-sanctioned mechanism to deal with that. TPR happens some times, but it must be handled by the courts--not a ruthless adoption agency or desperate prospective adoptive parents. No one has the right to unilaterally declare by fiat that someone is an unfit parent and so they deserve to lose their child, however it happens.

This poor woman was from Wisconsin and taken away to New Jersey, where she was completely isolated from her family and the people who knew her and loved her. This should come as no surprise, however, since it is the standard operating practice of the adoption industry. Sadly, adoption agencies and PAPs do this stuff all the time.

And there is no evidence that the broader family had problems and could not have helped--we only know that she was isolated from them.

Kayla's (Chelsea's) father should be ashamed of himself for conspiring to not only abandon his child, but to effectively steal her from a loving mother so that he could be free from his responsibilities and so that Rosie O'Donnel could play house with someone else's child.
