Can I Let You Go? is the true story of Faye, a wonderful young woman who may never be able to parent her unborn child.

Faye is 24, pregnant, and has learning difficulties as a result of her mother’s alcoholism. Faye is gentle, childlike and vulnerable, and normally lives with her grandparents, both of whom have mobility problems. Cathy and her children welcome Faye into their home and hearts. The care plan is for Faye to stay with Cathy until after the birth when she will return home and the baby will go for adoption. Given that Faye never goes out alone it is something of a mystery how she ever became pregnant and Faye says it’s a secret.

To begin with Faye won’t acknowledge she is pregnant or talk about the changes in her body as she worries it will upset her grandparents, but after her social worker assures her she can talk to Cathy she opens up. However, this leads to Faye realizing just how much she will lose and she changes her mind and says she wants to keep her baby.

Is it possible Faye could learn enough to parent her child? Cathy believes it is, and Faye’s social worker is obliged to give Faye the chance.

In most of the books about Foster carers, the child or children have been brought into care because the parents were too selfish and weak to put their child's needs first. Whilst I understand that even for some of the most awful parents it must be a difficult thing to give up your child, I am generally of the opinion that it doesn't effect me massively as I feel they should have done better and I'm therefore much more concerned with the trauma that the child has experienced before and during coming into care.
The story of Faye and her unborn child couldn't be further from the "norm" though. The decision she has had to make, knowing her own limitations, is truly one of the most unselfish I've ever read! She is an amazingly strong lady who my heart goes out to completely. My heart goes out to her grandparents too, who not only lost their daughter due to alcohol addiction but also suffered many difficulties, stresses and losses due to FAS effecting not only their granddaughter's life, but also inadvertently effecting the life of their great grandchild too.

Faye is truly such a strong and unselfish lady.
