Woman Says She’s Worked ‘Extremely Hard’ To Stay Sober And Deserves To Have Her Daughter Back
Gabe admits she hasn’t always made the best choices. She says her worst decision was using heroin during pregnancy. As a result, Gabe says her d aughter, Avery, was born seven weeks premature, weighed only four-and-a-half pounds, and was on oxygen for two days.
Gabe says her mother, Becky, took care of the baby until Gabe got sober a few months later. But when Gabe relapsed almost 14 months ago, Avery went back to live with her grandmother.
Gabe says she has worked “extremely hard” to stay sober, “and because of that, I deserve to have Avery back.”
What “terms and conditions” does Avery claim Becky has told her she must meet before she can get her daughter back?
