[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 416851, member: 6370"] Oh, boy! Add me to the list of adoptive parents of twins with ADHD. We got them 6 weeks after birth. Their mom's OB was my OB and said "these are good babies". I can't imagine choosing this kind of stress, going into it with eyes wide opened. I'll be brutally honest, keep on fostering them or run for the hills! I could never hope to undo the harm inflicted on your two boys. What a heartbreak. I recently witnessed some of the nastiest parenting I'd ever seen, while we were admitting our daughter into a psychiatric hospital for her cutting. A boy around 8 years old was extremely active and unable to sit in the waiting room. His mother was foul mouthed, threatening him, cursing and objectifying him. She thought it was really funny that his grandmother had dumped a bowl of cereal on his head and he had eaten it while it was dripping down. She told this story to any one who would listen. I thought to myself "how can even the best psychiatric hospital in this state help this poor kid? Look at the damage which has already been done!". [/QUOTE]
