Critical Question #1
An approach to Adoption
When me and my partner Luther decided we wanted to adopt a baby girl, the first thing that we needed was to consider the many option, expectations, and obstacles that we might face. After setting up an appointment and meeting with a lawyer specializing in adoption, many thing became clear. We would need to give serious consideration to the health of the fetus prior and post birth. We would also need to have a thorough understanding of the babies maternal mothers care so that we can have an idea of what challenges if any that the baby may face.
Upon deciding to adopt we were referred to a woman. We will refer to her as Janet. Janet had become pregnant and due to serious circumstances in her life, she felt that it would be best if she relinquished her rights as a mother and put her baby up for adoption once it is born. She is only a few month away from deliver currently. Me and Luther, were fortunate enough to have found Janet in our search for a baby to adopt.
On a sadder note, Janet has had many problems with addiction in the past and has been challenged with keeping herself away from beer in larger quantities than just a few units, at times during the pregnancy. Since alcohol is a factor in this adoption, I have felt it was important that we prepare for protective steps that may be taken to prevent the damaging effects of teratogens. Abnormal development in embryos and the causes of congenital malformations or birth defects. Infants born to alcoholic mothers demonstrate prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency, mental retardation, and other malformations. These anatomical or structural abnormalities are present at birth although they may not be diagnosed until later in life.
Effects of Teratogens include: Chorioretinitis: inflamation of the choroid and retina
Hemangioma: benign tumor made up of newly formed blood vessels
Hepatosphenomegaly: enlarged
