When she did not seek prenatal care, continued using drugs and alcohol, selling drugs, and placing her unborn baby in harm’s way during her pregnancy because it was an unwanted pregnancy and baby.

I myself am a product of an unwanted pregnancy, when a mother continues using drugs while her unborn baby is developing she has no regard for that baby. When she leaves a newborn, for a young children (ages 7-9 years old) to care for at days at a time, then that is an unwanted baby in my opinion. I have the right to say it because that was my start in life. Do not start saying that I have issues and unresolved feelings about my birth mother, my adoption or what happened because that is not the truth. My adoptive parents did not have any thing to do with my feelings or what I think about this. When I got older they did explain that drugs and neglect were the reason that my birth mother was unable to keep me.
