[QUOTE="ABS, post: 502987, member: 13718"] [B]MidwestMom[/B], her first four years weren't ideal as her dad was a single parent trying to make it work. He worked full time and was going to school so she did have several caregivers. He only dated one woman where they lived together (for about a year) during those four years. She doesn't remember the woman but does remember her daughter who was about her age. Her birthmother DID do drugs/smoked while pregnant though the true extent isn't known. She disappeared quite a bit and when she decided to walk away for good, my husband decided to raise her alone and took the measures to get her rights terminated. As far as genetic conditions we have sketchy details on both sides. There were a lot of addiction issues on birth mother's side but the full extent isn't known. My husband does have anxiety and impulse control issues and is on lexapro. His mother has severe bipolar and addiction issues. Because his parents gave him and his sisters up, the details of his parents are sketchy as well. We have one child together who is 13 months old. My oldest daughter relates great with her though she gets easily frustrated. She truly loves her sister and has made the comment "I hate everything in this world....except *youngest daughter*". She does have issues sharing attention but we try and make sure she gets one on one time (like going shopping, yogurt, etc) without the toddler. We are also 10 wks pregnant at this moment.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and advice. I have gained more confidence in the past half hour than I have had in months.
