Fair enough -- we know that if two people take drugs today for the first time ever, one of them could become an addict while the other is able to walk away. But we also know that SOMEONE is going to become an addict. WHY would anyone EVER take that chance? It's not a sensible choice.
Of course it isn't sensible. But one who begins using drugs usually isn't in a sensible state. There are so many things to look at rather than just writing off that one person for not accepting personal responsibility. If it were that easy, it would be great.
FWIW, my oldest was born with drugs in his system. At first he was mainly with the paternal grandmother and an aunt. We took him in at age four and eventually were able to adopt him. In my opinion, DCF tries very hard to keep the baby with ANY family member....sometimes too hard, but that's another story.
