My son was born Hep C and HIV pos. He has since tested negative for each, so is considered clean. His mother was an IV drug user, whose whereabouts were unknown at time of our court date.
Our son has been tested by the pediatrician and had early intervention examine him. They had to mess with the numbers in order for us to qualify for early intervention assistance. In other words, at 16 months, he was right where he should have been in all categories other than speech. And there was no surprise there since he had only been listening to English for 2 months. He is still on the small side, but each visit to the doctors he increases his position on the chart.
The final decision is up to you, obviously, but from somebody that had to deal with some of the same issues as you are now dealing with, if I had the chance to adopt another child with the same "problems" as my son has, I would do it in a minute.
