Does this not show emotional instability? Apparently you are not fully aware of hyperemesis and the impact that it has on one's emotions. You obviously aren't aware that although some of the physical (definately not all) symptoms go away at birth, the emotional ones last quite some time. Until you have been there and gone through it, you cannot judge someone or the decisions that they make. You obviously sound clueless about this disease.

I have said my thoughts in a previous post,  but not only am I a woman who is encountering my second round with hyperemesis...I myself was adopted, AND I am a social worker. In my job I terminate the rights of many parents, I also reunite many, many children with their parents...even years later and I also place children of all ages up for adoption. I see their psych evaluations, I speak with therapists and service providers to know what the impact on the children is. Some is good, and some is bad...but I still stand strong for Allison and that reunification would be the best thing. I also say that knowing that she does need to take care of herself emotionally, and if that means therapy then so be it. But I believe that enduring such an awful pregnancy and not having something for that battle would drive anyone's emotions into the ground and impair their judgement.
