Answer 1

google it. that should bring up a lot

Answer 2

All my sisters children were born with drug addiction as she was a herion addict.  It is so sad for the baby and now they all legally adopted with the same family, which I am so pleased about as she could not cope to look after then or quit her addiction.

This is quite a hard subject, I have studied this subject at uni, not thoroughly though, it depends the kind of substance that the mother has used during the pregnancy the baby will suffer different symptoms which can be permanent, physically and cognitively, as an example a newborn whose mother has used heroin during pregnancy will suffer withdrawal symptoms shortly after being born, his/her body will have spasms, etc and they need massages in their arms and legs to help them ease the pain.

Very hard stuff.
