[quote=Anonymous][quote] Anonymous wrote: For a woman with no interest in having a kid and who would otherwise have an abortion, what are the odds they eat well, take prenatal vitamins, or even do something simple like give up alcohol? If she's white, the father was white, and the kid can be adopted within minutes of birth -- don't care if she consumed nothing but Twinkies and Vodka. [/quote] And if all she consumed was Twinkies and vodka, then the kid will almost certainly present with some of the symptoms of prenatal alcohol exposure. And the brain damage caused by fetal alcohol exposure is significant. What is often labeled reactive attachment disorder is often emotional dysregulation and brain damage due to prenatal alcohol exposure. The PP above with the friends who adopted toddlers who turned into violent teens immediately made me think that the kids probably had some form of prenatal exposure. [/quote]
