marg, I simply cannot believe this....... I agree with you for a change. The number of people open to adopting medicaly challanged babies is ultra
small. The issue of crack babies as mentioned before also brings up alot of issues. These kid not only have problems at birth, but as the enter the
school system they have social and behavoral issues as well. One kid can really disrupt the entire class.
Yes is a different site to the story when a child is born is already here and all we can do is make sure he is provided with what he needs some don't
even have that.
I am going to tell you a story I am a teacher when I came to the south I was working with children in elementary school, I was in my classroom (second
graders at the time) when the teacher from the classroom across mine came running and told me to come to her classroom because she needed a witness to
one of the first grader’s behavior, when I when to her classroom the child was jumping on the other children desks, he was tearing their papers and
(it was a lot of littler ones crying) screaming. Finally one of the male coach came and got the child out of the room.
When I ask what was wrong with the boy the teacher told me that he was "a crack baby" but they cannot do anything because he was a "ward of the
state" other comments were made but I am not going to bring them on, now as a parent I found that the other children were exposed to the behavior of
this child and I though it was unfair, now I happen to see the boy six years later in Junior high, and to my surprise he was living with his grand
mama and he was in the special student’s program and he looked happy, and that made my day.
