CANNOT GRANT CONSENT.
It is not the fault of Kayla's mother that she was deceived and defrauded by Rosie O'Donnell, her own husband and a ruthless adoption agency.
Kayla and her REAL mom are victims of all these people. I just pray that some day Kayla (Chelsea) can recover from what was done to her by Rosie and company.

If there was a problem with sobriety the courts could have intervened. They never even came close

There is no evidence that Kayla (Chelsea) was a FAS baby. And yes, Rosie adopted her children

They think she may have gone looking for her birth mother who she located last year...

I hope that she has reunited with her natural mother. Bonding with her would be good for Chelsea IMO

I'm not sure I'd want to bond with a Mom who sells her dirty laundry to the National Enquirer....

Why don't we let Chelsea decide that? I am betting that Rosie isn't so willing to let Chelsea make
