[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you say yes you need to find out if the baby has been exposed to drugs/alcohol. [/quote] I am an adoptive parent and I agree with everyone who says to educate yourself. The two issues that have impacted us most are FASD and attachment disorders. Thing about both is that they don’t show up at birth. In fact they may not show up for years. But they are no joke. We’ve wiped out our bank accounts multiple times to pay for treatment that is not covered by insurance. I don’t regret my decisions at all but it’s not an easy road if these issues become your reality. [/quote]
