Is a mild mental illness a good reason for a women to be coerced into surrendering?

No I do not think that is a good enough reason to take the child. I don't know the whole story, do you have the link? Anyways I do not think that just because someone has a mild disorder that their child should be taken from them unless there is something else going on. I have an example, my niece has a developmental reading disorder so technically in school she had a special ed cl. And so she has a "disorder" but in no way does that make her unable to parent her child. Her parents tried to use her "disorder" to persuade her that she is simply not "fit" to be a parent, they made an adoption plan for her and umed she would follow in line. She was heart broken, so we took her in, she is now the mother to a beautiful, wonderful healthy and might I add perfect little one who is now almost a month old! She is a great mom and has the full support or my husband and I even though her own parents did not believe she was capable of being a mother. I think people who are differently abled should not be placed under an umbrella of "not good enough to be a parent" and if someone is suffering from AD-HD or depression but is able to control it and provide their child with a safe, loving home where all their needs are met than nobody should stand in their way. We should support these indivduals rather than uming they are not good enough.
