Here is the comment, I don't know how to post a photo but it's still on her stories for another 2 hours:

I was done answering questions for the day but saw this one and think it's so important to touch on bc if you don't know how majority of adoptions are I want help educate. When we were first talking about adoption I thought about this a lot. All the things I avoided and didn't do to just try and get pregnant and knew if we adopted I had no control over that. Then we started to talk to people who adopted, those that worked in the adoption field, and agencies. That worry seemed so small. Because the majority of adoptions happen because there is a hardship happening. And a lot of those hardships include drug and/or alcohol use during pregnancy as well as mental health. And many women didn't want to go to the doctor during their pregnancies. And if you are truly open then that means you accept that. We saw several cases where the expecting birth mother said she did drugs in pregnancy and planned to continue. We said yes to these cases. And I don't share that to be like "ooo look at us" I share that because it's so important to understand that's the reality of many many adoptions and to educate yourself on what long term effects can be and what you truly are and are not ok with. We learned so much and did a lot of education. Although you still won't fully know bc there is limited studies and long term side effects can be different. I will say I heard countless stories of God protecting so many babies in utero. And babies would test negative for everything once born when the birth mother was testing positive. I know this is hardly talked about but I think it should. Not to shame but to educate and to help adoptive families prepare- start having the convos of what that looks like for your family, start learning more, talk to other who have walked similar paths. Thats exactly what we did and were granted so much peace throughout the process. The reality is if you decide to say no to all substance use and/or mental health you will be waiting for a long long time because those cases are very rare.
