SEATTLE -- Allie, 9, and Flynn, 8, started their lives addicted to meth.
They were both treated at the Pediatric Interim Care Center in Kent.
Allie and Flynn were adopted by Andy Wood and Patti Johnson.
"These children go through something very traumatic when they're very young," said Wood. "It's a rough and bumpy start to life."
When they were babies, Flynn had tremors and Allie couldn't keep food down.
As they grew up, the physical problems faded and new issues cropped up.
Wood and Johnson say their children have some signs and symptoms of attention and learning problems.
Studies have suggested prenatal meth exposure can cause or contribute to these problems.
"Allie is very spontaneous and impulse drive, which offers for a lot of excitement," said Johnson.
If the trend keeps up, there will be more kids with these issues. In Kent, they're seeing a big jump in the number of babies born addicted to meth.
A few years ago, the Pediatric Interim Care Center treated 11 babies. Now it's 50.
