[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 553674, member: 1550"] My two youngest adopted kids definitely have serious substance abuse in their genetics. Sonic was born to a drug addict and had cocaine in his body when he was born. Jumper's birthfather has spent his life in and out of jail due to what he does to get money for drugs. So both of them are at high risk. I have drummed this into their heads since they were young 'uns...that maybe their friends can experiment and be ok, but that they can't. Does this guarantee anything? No. Sonic is nineteen and has never had any interest in drinking and drugs and, since he is on the autism spectrum, he doesn't really "Hang out" much. His few friends are mostly just into videogames and staying home...lol. But Jumper will be going away to college in a few years. She is totally straight now, but I don't know what will happen once she is away. I hope she heeds my warning. All you can do is talk to your child. If you do that, you have done your best. After a certain age, it is (scarily) up to them. [/QUOTE]
