I have been recently licensed and am awaiting placement of a fost/adopt child age 0 to 3. I have been told that my area has a large Meth problem and that a high percentage of babies taken into FC will have been Meth exposed. I was hoping that those of you with experience with Meth exposed babies could answer a few questions: [LIST] [*]What problems are common with Meth exposed babies? [*]What problems may develop later that are not obvious when they are babies? [*]Do Meth users tend to only use Meth or do they also use alcohol and/or other drugs? [*]Is there a large difference in terms of long-term outcome between babies who are born Meth addicted as opposed to just exposed? [*]I have been told that Meth is one of the hardest drugs to kick, making RU rates very low among Meth addicts. Has this been your experience? [/LIST] I am going to be a single first-time mother, so I am very concerned about taking on more than I can handle. I would appreciate any experiences you could share on Meth exposed children. Thanks in advance!
