I've name changed in case family are on here.
I have a close relative who is expecting a baby.
This isn't really relevant but he has achondroplasia which they've just found out the baby has inherited (his first child to a different mother did not).
His mother called mine in a panic as SS have become involved. Unknown to her (but maybe to my family member) the mother of the baby has had two previous babies taken away at birth as she was in an abusive relationship which she wouldn't / couldn't / didn't leave. She has no contact with those kids who have been adopted. She also grew up in the system and has no relationship with her family.
My question is - as she's now in a relationship with my cousin and they have the support of his mother - what are the hopes of them being allowed to keep this baby and will it be taken or will they just be monitored and supported ?
