I encourage you to deal with the drug issues head on. Being in an open adoption with addicts has it's own particular problems that not everyone can or should have to deal with. It's tricky with older "lifers" people who have functioned (sort of) but done drugs on and off their entire lives...because it can sneak up on everyone after months of a great relationship.
But she may be a great lady who has remained clean....people have had hard and complicated lives. It's worth giving it a try! I did and I don't regret it.
