Don't Be So Hard On Yourself :)

As an adoptive family it wouldn't matter to us and your agency will be able to find a family who won't care either (our son's entire birthfamily had addiction issues.) Most families just want a baby to love. All families have some issues, medical or emotional, and most kids do too whether we adopt them or give birth to them - so don't be so hard on yourself! The agency just asks so if your child shows any signs of either mental illness or addiction the adoptive parents have the knowledge that there is a family history and know the early signs to be able to help the child as soon as possible. So please don't be embarassed or worried. Just be honest because that is what is best for the baby. Good luck to you!
