If I were to adopt, I’d love for the natural parents to play a large role in the child’s life.
Of course, this is assuming they encourage the child to follow the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard.

A lady I work with is trying to adopt a little girl. Mom is a perpetual drug abuser, lives in a mobile trailer where cats and dogs piss and crap all over the floor and has guys in and out. The little girl watched her dad overdose and die. The adopted parents (my coworker) have a really nice house with a pool and treat the girl well. The little girl keeps begging them to never let her go back but they haven’t been granted permanent custody yet.
The mom failed every drug test and was given one last chance to get clean before her daughter was removed from her permanently. Of course, that last time she has managed to get cleaned up for. She doesn’t have a car or a job so no way to provide for the kiddo. I can’t get a real good indication of there is really a shot of her getting the kid back but I am nervous that the mom will clean up just long enough to get the kid back. And it’ll just be a matter of time before she relapsed.

It can be really bad. Fortunately our adoption has turned out good. There was a lot of bad times and circumstances that we never thought we would have a good relationship with our step daughter but it worked out well.
I encourage both twins to have a good and meaningful relationship with their biological mother. We don’t know the biological dad. I tell them that they will have a longer relationship with her than with us. My wife and I will be dead and gone and their biological mom will still be part of their lives. They might as well get used to it.
Neither resent her but they aren’t really close either. I’m thinking they will as they grow older.

Not a chance. Know of two that have ruined lives of everyone involved.

I don't know crap about the process other than it seems like they give parents way too many opportunities. If you fail more than one drug test with meth or coke, you should have 0 chances to get your kid back especially when there is a fitting family begging to give the kid a helluva better life than the druggie can ever provide.
The lady I work with has said she will litigate as many times as she can and the mom doesn't have any money so she's hoping she will just forfeit her daughter because she can't afford attorney's fees. I don't know if that is a possibility though.

I did an open adoption. We didn't really have a choice based on the circumstances. Our kids know their birth father and have a relationship with him. There is no relationship with the birth mother. They see their birth father a couple of times a year. Every time we see him, he tells me that he made the right choice for him and the children. He has been able to get clean and hold steady employment.

If the little girl is working with a CASA volunteer, she needs to make this abundantly clear. The volunteer will then send that info to the court to help them make a decision that the child wants. If she doesn't have one, it would probably be smart to have the attorney set that up.
