We are in the process of adopting through the state and have put in for two different little boys in hopes of being chosen for one. Both of the babies were born drug affected and at first it wasn’t a big deal to me. When you see those sweet little faces, you can't help but want to give them a home and love them forever.
In the last few days, I've been getting all these comments from people warning us about the long term effects and how things could be rough for us if we get one of these little boys. Both have already gone through withdrawals and are described now ( they are 9 and 10 months) as mellow, easy going babies that rarely fuss, are very happy, and eat and sleep well.
What will the future be like for these boys? Do they stand a chance at having a normal life? Are we getting in over our heads? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! (Pretty much I'm looking for someone to tell me things will be okay if we are chosen to be the parents for one of these little boys! =0) )
