My adopted daughter is 5.
We took her from a meth head who was in my wife’s family.
So far, so good!
Sadly, the meth head has 2 other kids who we could not save, which is very sad. Their outcome has been preordained for them.
We adopted in Romania in 1991, an infant girl who would have been consigned to a snake pit orphanage. I happened to be stationed in Germany when communism was swept out and we made it happen. She is 25 now and has beautiful 6 mo old twin boys.
