[QUOTE="buddy, post: 464018, member: 12886"] Midwestern mom: Yes, his birthmom did do drugs but he was the last one she had and she really wanted him. She checked into treament as soon as she knew she was pregnant and for over 8 months she tested clean and he tested clean at birth. She got to take him for 7 month when they got back into drugs and got into a police chase when they crashed their car. He was on her lap. No one was hurt but they then lost him too. It was a small town...same social workers in child protection did adoption so they really knew her and she lost all of her kids but none of them was ever physically abused.
