I adopted 2 kids from foster care; same mom, different dads. Mom abused drugs while pregnant with both kids. As these kids get older, the damage her drug use did to them is becoming more and more evident. I wish I could bash her face in for what she's done to these kids. On the other hand, I wish I had never adopted them. DCFS and CPS always involved because of what these kids do to each other and what they lie about how my partner and I treat them, the local police know us on a first-name basis. I hate it. I just wish I could wake up tomorrow and it be the day before I got a call about these kids needing a home, and I wish I could say "no". The last decade has been hell, and it is only getting worse from here.
