'Remarkable' addict agrees to son's adoption 'because she loves him'

A woman in the UK with a long history of drug and alcohol misuse who has accepted that adoption is the best option for her six-year-old son has been described as “truly remarkable” by a High Court judge.

The woman told Mrs Justice Pauffley at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London that she was unable to look after the little boy.
