[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Some children display disabilities in infancy. I am willing to accept some forms of substance abuse. Mental illness is off the table since my sibling is mentally ill and nephew is severely autistic. [/quote] Most of the parents or relatives have mental illness and most of that is genetic. There is a reason why these kids come into care and it is not so you can adopt them. Substance abuse can lead to serious issues. We were told we were getting a healthy infant and it is far from what happened. No regrets and all joy but we are in therapies for speech and OT daily and possible autism. Birthmom has no family history, but birthfather does. We were lied to from the birthfather on many things. There also is possible substance abuse. You will never fully know the truth. You have to be open to the possibility of everything. Very few display outward symptoms. Substance abuse can be far worse than mild autism.[/quote]
