"The latest being her mother admitted she was black-out drunk the night her baby disappeared."
I'll tell you what, if this is true.... I kind of want to punch mom in the face. Poor baby. But for all we know, this baby is being well taken care of. Crazier things have happened.
It's ok to keep hope alive IMO.
Hell, there was a 20-something that found out she'd been kidnapped when she was a baby from her parents home and all that time, she was alive and well. Did it suck for the parents? OF COURSE. But she was still alive and well.
