Cocaine binds to sperm, and scientists speculate whether or not that could cause developmental problems. So far, no birth defects have been linked to a father's exposure to cocaine.
This is kind of humiliating, but I really need to find out if anyone has any information.
My 4 year old son is the result of a fly by night affair (although I have been with my husband for 15 years) my husband accepts him and has raised him as his own and loves him very much.
I found out, after I got pregnant, that the man that I was having an affair with was a crack addict, boy can I pick them.
He was on crack when I conceived my son.
I have found some information, but not alot, about crack cocaine use by the father affecting the children. Apparently, it DOES affect them.
Does anyone have any more information?
Thank you all for listening(reading).

HI
I read your post with interest. My nephew was conceived with a man who was a crack cocaine user for many years. My sister has been raising her son alone and now at the age of 4 has been diagnosed with ADHD and PDD. I have heard from some people"its because of his father the crack addict" I have heard from other people that only if the women are users. I too would be interested to hear about any research done on this topic. My nephew has severe disabilities and is being medicated for aggression.
