My grandson was just born on the 19th addicted to methadone my daughter has been on the clinic for three years. While I have no problem with her being on the clinic, I do have reservations on her decision to decide to bring another life into the world while hers is in turmoil. If not for assistance from the state, she would have no income, she is in shelter. She gave birth to my gramddaighter 2 years ago, fortunately she was born addicted, she was premature/ She is delayed in her speech and has only recently caught up in her motor skills, What are the long term effects of infants born the methadone addicted parents?.
