[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for trying to be there for your god daughter. For those promoting adoption---please note it's not much easier than adoption. It's a tough choice to place a child for adoption after carrying it to term. The frief associated with being a birthmom is often unacknowledged. Also,the baby isn't born an addict--it is born with a drug dependence. [/quote] Yes, who will grow up to be an addict herself.[/quote] Not necessarily true. With proper intervention, drug dependent infants can grow up to live healthy, productive lives. We were considering adopting a baby that was exposed to methadone in utero. It turned out the the birth family decided to parent, but we did a lot of research on this issue to prepare ourselves. What is most stigmatizing is people who label babies as addicts. https://teens.drugabuse.gov/blog/post/are-some-babies-born-addicted[/quote]
