[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 187650, member: 1550"] karif, we don't know for a fact that my son's mom drank either. However, for the most part, if they use drugs, they drink too. Either way, your child was exposed to substances and did not have good prenatal care, and that makes our particular kids harder to diagnose and often far more challenging. I also suggest you look up "Reactive Attachment Disorder" in your search engine. My very best friend (God rest her soul, she has passed) had a foster child from age six months until four years. She had another one too, the same age. The first one was so violent, disruptive, and even dangerous that, in the end, the family tearfully told the social worker that she would have to be moved. All they knew of her background was that t he birthmother used drugs, but she had been in six homes (6!) before they came to her at her young age. She never got better, she got worse. Now, part of that was the foster care worker not allowing her to take the child for the proper evaluations. One night the child tried to choke her foster sister--that cemented their decision.
