[Bug-n-Bears-Mommy]

Both our babies have bi-polar from many relatives, and were exposed to many drugs and alcohol before being born. Do I worry? Sure, but everyone is right, being raised in a loving home for the last several months is a positive.

My friends aunt said it perfectly recently when she saw my boys for the first time. She told me how beautiful they are, and said we were doing a wonderful job with them. She could tell that they were loved and so very well cared for. She was happy to see that I was so happy and that I did not care about the boys' past. She also informed me that even if I had given birth myself there was not guarantee. Her son was healthy and she did not do a single thing to jeopardize her pregnancy. She raised him a stable 2 parent home as a stay at home mom...but he has dyslexia, ADHD, and is not battling a heroine problem. There are no guarantees. But, she loves him none the less.

It's just motherhood. As far as the daycare thing, many children thrive in daycare. They learn the social and many developmental skills that children who stay at home with themselves and their parent alone often do not get the opportunity to learn. It really can be a good thing. Just follow your heart.
