Jill and Jesse – an Extraordinary Adoption Story – the Nebraska Medical Center
Jill and Jesse – An Extraordinary Adoption Story – The Nebraska Medical Center – Jesse was born with the odds stacked against him. His mother had abused drugs. He was born with serious medical conditions; doctors were unsure whether he’d ever walk or even sit up on his own. He was fed through a tube in his belly. One of his nurses in The Nebraska Medical Center’s newborn intensive care unit formed a special bond with him. And when she heard foster families were having a difficult time caring for Jesse, Jill, his former nurse stepped forward. “I’ll take him,” she remembers saying. She legally adopted Jesse and brought him home. Now five years later, Jesse not only sits up and walks, but he runs and eats on his own. “He’s just perfect,” Jill says. “Ha!” Jesse says as his mom describes him as a “spunky boy.” The boy who was born with challenges most kids never have to face is preparing for a new challenge; just like every other five year old – kindergarten.

Substance Abuse: Substance Abuse Prevention
A leading substance abuse center recently urged the nation’s doctors to focus more closely on alcohol and drug use by their patients after finding that more than 9 out of 10 physicians didn’t diagnose alcohol abuse when presented with its early symptoms.
A survey by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University found that physicians felt unprepared to diagnose abuse and lacked confidence in the effectiveness of substance abuse treatment.
When presented with an adult showing early signs of alcoholism, some 94 percent of primary care physicians failed to diagnose substance abuse, the center reported.

As you have probably read more than once, offenders with some connection to drugs make up the greatest percentage of people in our prisons. Often, the criminal commits his/her crime either under the influence of drugs, or to gain money to support a drug habit.
