[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you say yes you need to find out if the baby has been exposed to drugs/alcohol. [/quote] This is her niece or nephew. It doesn't matter. OP should no question take the baby.[/quote] Please join the rest of us in reality.[/quote] Agreed. I’m the parent of a child with profound special needs due to a genetic disorder. There is no way I would take on a baby that had been exposed to drugs and alcohol. The special needs can be extreme. Our family makes it work because we are high income and my hsuband and I are happily married. It is ridiculously hard even with a lot of money and supportive partner. A single mom really has to consider whether they are equipped for this. Very little of the unrelated network you have built up over the years, and frankly even family, are interested in bathing and changing diapers on a teenager. Ask me how I know.[/quote]
