My husband cheated on me and it resulted in a child. The mother is a heroin addict and went to jail. The baby is in foster care. I do not know if my marriage can withstand all of this, but we are trying to work through it. However, social services has been contacting all of our friends and family members to try to find someone who wants to foster the child, despite the fact that my husband signed away his legal rights to the child. None of them are aware of our situation. Since the mother wants reunification, taking in the child means dealing with her. She is a drug addict and criminal and even stole our car at one point. I do not want her connected with us in any way and unfortunately, a connection to the child means a connection to me and my child/family. Do we have any legal rights and can we stop them from telling the world about this child and our dilemma?
