[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 39589, member: 393"] Please forgive me...my emotions were a bit high reading this article last night. And I'm living with the aftermath of pouring family reunification efforts into, at best, an ugly situation. The reality is that children born to drug addicted parents, are born into chaos. These children, many times, suffer chaos in the womb. While I admire those parents who can & do overcome their drug addictions & make safe, sane choices; many times this isn't the case. The argument then comes down to nature versus nurture. My difficult children, by their very nature came from a chaotic bio home. Would it have been better to allow them to flounder their way through that chaos & keep the cycle of abuse (in all manners) to continue or to give the tweedles some sort of chance at success. I've said to 1 SW or another that I question bringing kt & wm into our home. husband & I are not chaotic & it seems against the tweedles very nature to blend in here. It's been a journey.....one I wouldn't repeat. And one I'm glad that I took on. kt & wm are the children of my heart. [/QUOTE]
