[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 187450, member: 1550"] I didn't mean to diagnose at all. Kids who are exposed to drugs and alcohol and are moved around are more complicated than kids who are obviously "different" but have always been loved. There are more possible components. Doesn't mean all those components come into play, but in my opinion it's a very good idea to check into them. It is, sadly, VERY common for kids adopted out of foster care, with that sort of background, to be extremely difficult. And since there are extra factors involved it is often very difficult to figure out why. I went through this and I know many who have. It's always good to be proactive and see somebody who is used to dealing with children who may have problems that are not of the norm. Chances are there will be no clear cut diagnosis now or possibly ever, but there can be lots and lots of help. And to get that help, you need to have the child evaluated by somebody who has seen drug affected children and kids who have been moved around a lot in their first couple years of life. Otherwise, as I found out, you really are fighting an uphill battle to understand your child's behavior or what is wrong...and, trust me, the schools aren't exactly sympathetic either. They just think the kid is "bad" or "slow." Often there is a very bright, very neat kid under the behavior, as in the case of my son. I didn't mean to tell her what he DID have, only what he COULD have. SRL, you are one of my favorite, most intelligent posters, so I wanted to set the record straight. I think you always give wonderful advice. Anyway, have a nice day :) [/QUOTE]
