[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 384272, member: 1550"] Was she exposed to drugs/alcohol in utero? If so, that can cause everything from fetal alcohol problems to unstable moods. The poor kids deal with the bad choices of their birthmothers. You may want to do a neuropsychologist on her to see what you can find out although it may be impossible to find out everything...and she may not respond to normal interventions, depending on what is wrong. I'm the adoptive mom of four. We actually adopted six, but one was too damaged/dangerous to live in a family and another one was in foster care after the dangerous one left, bonded to that family, and we hadn't had him for very long so we allowed the other family to adopt him (long story). Suffice to say, we've had experience with these very puzzling children and since we don't know their histories or their genetic backgrounds or the kind of care they got in utero, they are hard to figure out. I can tell you right now that, no matter how much information you were given, it's probably not the whole story. That's how we adopted Dangerous. Even his psychiatrists didn't know about his dark life behind the smile. Most of the info we received on our older adopted kids turned out to be pretty useless in the end. That's why I always get my own intensive, private testing. [/QUOTE]
