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.
