What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Hi my brothers unstable girlfriend is pregnant, and has been drinking nonstop, has been to the ER because of being "out of it" and reported shooting up heroine...obviously my brother is completely furious that she isn't taking care of his baby or herself. She has scheduled 2 appts to have an abortion and cancelled both of them. He is concerned that she will get to the point where she has to go full term, and then he will be taking care of a severly damaged child. He has tried several times to get her into rehab, taken her to ER for them to get her back on track with her meds (she is diagnosed as bipolar). She stops taking her meds, drinks and smokes and does who knows what else.
DOe she have any options? Where can he go to get someone to step in with her? No one seems to know where to point him, he would carry the baby if he could..but clearly that's not physically possible! I feel helpless and don't know where to turn for advice! ANY suggestions will help! THANKS an Ohio Aunt
