when study after study found all of them doing as well in school as could be expected: the ones who were adopted into middle class homes doing very well and the ones who had remained with drug using parents suffering the effects of poverty but not drugs.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
