A member asked:

38 weeks pregnant disgusted with my relapse(meth) after 3 years terrified my son will be harmed & positive if tested at birth...if so will he be taken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In my state,yes: Parent rights and responsibilities are defined within each state by specific laws. Parents of a newborn are granted custody with the assumption that they make choices in the best interest of the child. Any evidence that this assumption is invalid, like drug use, gives the state the right to take custody.Get clean, stay clean and any loss of custody could be temporary.
