That enviorment is terrible for the baby. But adoptive parents, who strive to provide a wonderful and loving enviorment for the baby to grow up in, can help overcome that adversity. It's simply not the case that they will be damaged for life. Now damage can occur in the womb due to drug use. If that truly is the case then the doctors should determine the best plan for the welfare of the child.
well the odds are against them when they are born into this world. and more than likely it leads to prison or drugs them self. either way it is a burden. to those of you that dont have kids i donthink really know how hard it is to rear a kid the right way. it takes alot of time and effert and those are things that we cant afford with the way things are now a days. they are a product of there enviroment.
