See, I disagree that the child of a crack baby will more than likely have health issues if adopted. You are correct in the assertion that babies born to that circumstance have troubles, but I suspect that those troubles are caused not merely by being born to a crack addicted mother, but rather by the neglect and abuse suffered by the child as it grows. 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.
