It truly is the devil that tries to convince a loving parent that their child is better off being raised by others in an institution. Especially at such a young age. Late verbal at two years is not unusual. Devil tried to abort this child, and now discourage the mother. I hope she does attend and gets involved at church. Discipleship together, surrounded by a loving church is the fertile ground necessary for God's purposes to sprout and blossom in their lives.
