Blind couple’s baby girl finally returned after 57 days

Apparently in Missouri, you don’t have to endanger the life or well-being of your child to have the state take it away. You just have to be blind.

On May 21, Erika Johnson and her partner, Blake Sinnett,

welcomed their first child, Mikaela into the world at Centerpoint

Medical Center in Independence. A few hours later, the state’s

department of child services welcomed Mikaela into a foster home,

deeming Johnson and Sinnett unfit to raise a child after Johnson had

trouble breast feeding her baby.
