I hope someone can help me. My brother and sister-in-law are trying to adopt a newborn child from a non-profit agency. I was wondering how thorough the background and medical history checks are for the adoption process. The reason for my concern is this: My brother is a drug addict. He's been battling his addiction with oxycontin pills and heroin for more than 2 years. He's currently 1 month clean and has gone for bloodwork for the adoption. They said they have already had their home study and have paid their fee to the adoption agency. They've been invovled in the agency for about 2 years and say they will have a baby within 6 months.
He's been in rehab twice over the last 2 years. My brother and sister-in-law ARE HIDING HIS ADDICTION from the adoption agency. Does the adoption process look into medical records or have access to rehab records? If not, will they be able to determine the volatile codependent relationship between my brother and sister-in-law due to his drug addiction? He hasn't been able to hold a job for more than a few months and my sister-in-law and my parents support him. The agency hasn't interviewed anyone in his family, so I'm wondering if they will ever uncover this secret.
Please help me in any way you can. I fear for the safety and well being of any child that may be adopted by them, but I don't know what to do. I'm hoping the truth will come out.
Sincerely,
Janet
