In many ways, life is good for Amy Blobaum. She has a job she loves, is happily married to a Lutheran pastor-to-be and soon will give birth to her second child. Yet over everything looms a shadow from her past.
40 inmates with opioid-use disorder and found that most didn’t believe the law would make much of a difference.Blobaum pleaded guilty in August 2015. Kucinski’s mother, Dorothy Kucinski, who became guardian of the couple’s child a few weeks before the fatal overdose, testified at the sentencing hearing about how her family had suffered following her son’s death.
She had gotten off heroin with the help of a 12-step program after Kucinski died, she said, and once incarcerated helped lead meetings with fellow inmates. She and Blobaum bonded over their Christian faith and dated via correspondence and phone calls as she served out her sentence. Blobaum was paroled in January 2020 — she and Ben Blobaum married later that year — and quickly landed a job as a behavioral health technician at Northern Illinois Recovery Center, an addiction rehab in Crystal Lake.
Blobaum said her conviction has also impeded her effort to regain custody of her now 12-year-old son, whom she has seen just a handful of times since her release. Dorothy Kucinski’s lawyer has argued in court that Blobaum remains incapable of raising the boy.
