Why was DCS taking the baby? I'd put up a fight too unless the entire family had harmed this infant or other children before. Child "Protective" Services doesn't have a very good track record lately. They seem to go from one extreme to other in giving children to foster families that haven't been thoroughly investigated to returning children to parents who have previously seriously abused them and are still on drugs.
