it is such a toss up with some of these children now. were there drugs used during the pregnancy, any diseases, mental issues? my cousin was on drugs with her last child, the same child that the family wanted ME to adopt. i just couldnt risk it, her mother was a prostitute, strung out on crack, she swore she hadnt used crack the whole pregnancy. since this was her 8th child given up for adoption/taken away from her, the family insisted someone keep this one. i was not willing to risk the future problems that this child might encounter.

i love the idea of adopting. given the right conditions, i would consider it. it gives children a second chance. if these children with issues are going to be only children, i think it would work. seeing as how i have 2, i cant bring that into my family unless i know the complete background.
