Where will OCY take our baby?

Question

Where will OCY take our baby?
OCY has been overseeing my boyfriend since he was a freshman in high school.
His father came and went all the time and finally his mother kicked him out for good.
His mother did most of the raising of him and his two older brothers. (both of his older brothers live on their own now.)
Lately,OCY has been looking very closely at his mom. Truthfully, she's the nicest woman I have ever met.
She just made some mistakes (just as all of us do and have.) She started buying my boyfriend cigarettes when he was in the 7th grade.
My boyfriend has been smoking since, and drinks, chews, basically everything. I don't have a problem with smoking or drinking. It just takes the edge off you a little bit.
His mother has been excellent to me and him. We both are juniors in high school and when we found out that I was pregnant my parents did not want much to do with me, and I don't want anything to do with them either. Honestly, I never have. We just never met eye-to-eye and they never understood me.
So I am currentley living with my boyfriend and his mother and I am a lot happier being with them.
OCY comes to our school and talks to both of us all the time and have been asking me lots of questions about my pregnancy and have reports and documents on everything of the both of us. I really don't want them to take away our baby girl. I understand that we are not the perfect family, and are seventeen but we can take care of our own kid.
My friend told me that once they take the kid out of the home they put it up for adoption.

Where will they take our baby?

thanks.

I'm on WIC.
And he gets things subsidized by the gov.

Answer 1

Don't sign anything. No one can take your baby unless you let them. If anyone comes to your school tell them to take a hike. If they keep bothering you go to the principles office and report them or have them call the police.There are girls age 14 having babies and no one trys to take their child. If you contacted them about putting the baby up for adoption tell them you changed your mind and to leave you alone or you will be getting an lawyer. If they still don't listen call a lawyer. The first visit is free and no lawyer will turn you down. Besure you let your doctor know what is going on. He will be willing to give you alot of help also.

Answer 2

they do not put your baby up for adoption without your consent. You are looking at your life as what you find acceptable. They are looking at your life whether it is the best place to raise a baby. I don't know you or your life but make a good start for yourself and do some parenting courses. Make sure your baby is not around smoke as it ups the chance of it dying from SIDS. Already it has a higher chance as you are inhaling smoke (either 1st hand or 2nd hand or both) and that puts your baby in a higher category for dying from SIDS. The fact they are so involved already tells me there is a very good reason. You want to keep that baby then do all you can to improve the lifestyle you will be bringing it into

Answer 3

Why would they take your baby away? Are you a criminal or have had previous problems or are you a ward of the court/state you reside in? If not, they cannot take your baby away from you. I'd flat out ask them why you are under investigation and find out what is going on. Ask for copies of all of their reports you might be able to glean a lot of information as to why you are under investigation. STAY IN SCHOOL and make sure you set up daycare for the baby before the baby is born so they know you and your boyfriend have plans to stay in school, get a job, have childcare figured out and that you are keeping your baby. Don't let them pressure you into putting the baby up for adoption if that is not what you want.

Answer 4

Unless they prove you are unfit parents they can't take your baby away from you. You need to speak with your parents about what is going on, because they may not see eye-to-eye with them but they could help you out during this time. If you are proven unfit they will take your baby and place it into foster care, or perhaps with grandparents (which is another reason you should be talking to your parents) until you prove to them you are fit enough to care for them. The only one they can put your child up for adoption is if your parental rights are severed.

Answer 5

Just let them have the baby, and in the meantime, don't do drugs, smoke and drink because IT"S BAD FOR THE BABY.

You are not in the position to be a mom. You proved that by thinking your boyfriends family is better than yours- HELLO! Your parents wouldn't let you do whatever you wanted, right? So they MUST be wrong! Can't you see, that anyone who buys ciggs for their 12 year old IS MENTALLY RETARDED AND SHOULD BE LOCKED UP?

Answer 6

There is a possibility that they will, you and your boy friend are minors and if a minor is drinking and smoking with an infant then yes, the baby is at risk for being taken away.

Answer 7

wow you are a fool for saying you don't need your parents run home....who said that they would take your baby? You have to be unfit...don't let them take a baby you love

Answer 8

unless you are proven unfit, they shouldn't take your baby. you say you can raise it, does he have a job? a foundation? financial backing if needed? are you ready for this life changing experience?
