If i owe arrears to the state of Louisiana, can they take my future children?
My son was taken by the state as soon as he was born because i was on drugs. I was willing to sign him over immediately, but they told me i seemed indecisive, so they would give me more time to reconsider. I was still addicted to the drugs, so i avoided talking to any officials or doctors. I went to jail, and tried to sign him over again, and they said the same thing. They refused to let me give him up willingly. The foster mom eventually adopted him, and then i owed the state back child support. I had no job and i was homeless so i had no way to pay it. Eventually, i got off the drugs, got a job, and started paying it. By then I owed over $2500. I'm still paying on it and I'm thinking about having another kid, but I'm scared Louisiana will take my next kid if i owe them back child support
