[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, given her addiction I think she needs to understand the likelihood that the child will have developmental and possibly physical differences. Developmental delays, intellectual disability, learning problems, health problems. All of those are on the table and for the child to get the interventions they need, the child needs to have parents and family who have the resources to ensure that will happen.

The child has a significant disadvantage and may have a serious developmental disability.

I’m not advocating a particular plan of action (although I agree with you that abortion is not off the table) but I think you should try to communicate that she is likely taking on a level of responsibility far beyond raising a child because she is also going to have to face her role in her child’s difficulties every single day.

I am so sorry you’re going through this. I’m glad she has you in her corner though.[/quote]

[b]I work with children of addicts,[/b] and very few of them have delays of any type. What is her drug of choice?[/quote]

What work do you do with children of addicts?  What services are they in need of that requires you to work with them?  Curious.[/quote]
