Contributor Bio:  Wardrum, V L Ingrid Serck-Hanssen is passionate about giving children the opportunity to grow up in a drug-free world. Born and raised in Norway in an era when drugs were not commonly accessible, she was fortunate enough to be in an environment where drugs were never offered; hence she didn't need to make a decision whether to try or not to try them. Ingrid wants children growing up today to get the same break, but first, the cycle of shame must be broken; parents must stand up and speak up! Ingrid moved from Norway to Minnesota in 1991 with her then husband who started graduate school at the University of Minnesota. After years of dealing with infertility, together they adopted Jacob through open adoption in 1992. Even after getting divorced a few short years later, they both continued living in Minnesota. In 2001, as a single parent, Ingrid adopted her second son, Cameron. She knows the impact drugs can have - not only on the teenager, but also on the entire family. Drug use and abuse can tear a family apart. It is her hope to be able to raise awareness to the impact early drug use and addiction can have on teenagers, on their development and motivation and their drive to succeed in life. She also urges parents not to turn their backs on their kids' drug use - even if recreational. "Confront your children and know there are a lot of treatment options available," she insists. Ingrid has also learned through her own journey, that at the end of the day, it isn't up to us as parents. Our young adults have to take responsibility for their own actions. As a parent, it can be tempting, or simply instinct, to take on your child's crusade toward sobriety, but through many setbacks, Ingrid learned the importance of setting boundaries and letting her son, Jacob, take responsibility for his own recovery. Ingrid currently lives in a suburb of Minneapolis, MN, with her husband and two sons.
