See, that is where we differ.....I do feel Cassie abandoned him.

I could see if she ahd been a teen when she had him but she was 23: An ADULT......she uses all kinds of excuses for givig him up......giving away a child (even to adoption) imho is abandonement.

A child will grow up feeling abandon no matter the circumstances.

Cassie had it all, she got a free pregnacy, she lived with the adotped parents......ONLY stayed sober while she lived with them per the adotpted parents rules......then gave him him and went right back on the streets.

I say streets cause she eventually admitted to using the system and guys to ahve places to live.

Another mentioned that maybe the specialist in addictions might be on for Cassie......well, how come this was done last season when she was on?

I am so tired of this show declaring Ladies ready to move on then bring them back because the first go round didn't happen as expected.

I wonder if Cassie, after graduating, ever followed through with obtaining her GED? I'll be curious to see if that topic is brought up with her.
