    Very Sad.

    One of my wife’s friends watches a foster child while the foster parents work. This baby is 3 months old and been in foster care for a while so basically since born. To me that is Very Sad. Very cute baby baby she just sent my wife a picture of.

    Getting anywhere near the foster care system will expose you to a lot of heartbreak in a hurry. There are far too many dregs of society making babies and a baby born with it's own drug addiction is one of the roughest starts I can think of.

    Kudos to the foster parents. Anybody who willingly signs up for raising someone elses kid is a saint.

    I think I read hear that here in WV there are over 5 thousand kids in foster care. And we are a small population state. Just Sad.

    Our next door neighbor that is fighting cancer now. They had a couple foster kids. But I think when mom gets cleaned up a little with the drugs they give the kids back. At least that the way I understand it. Then the mom dad gets back on drugs and the kids go back in foster care. It is very sad.

    This 2000%!!!

    When a friend of mines wife had their first child it was so addicted to nicotine that it would just lay there in the crib and shake because it's POS person who had the baby smoked 3 packs a day the whole 9 months she was pregnant. I really wanted to cuss her out but didn't.
    There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.
