I'm sorry you feel I'm selfish & against adoption. I'm not against adoption at all. As a matter of fact, we will more than likely end up adopting. We'd be working on an adoption right now if we didn't have 2 embryos still frozen.
The point I was trying to make is that most of the kids who are born to addicts have issues in my experience. Their brains are chemically altered due to the drug use. It's been studied enough that I've had training about it for work. Did I mean all of the babies? Obviously no. Your cousin is an exception to the rule I'm used to seeing. Maybe its a case of nurture outweighing nature. I know that the way many of my kids were raised isn't optimal, but its what i have experience with. Not the kids who were adopted out of the mess their mothers created. I suppose I should have considered that before I answered.
