[QUOTE="klmno, post: 167215, member: 3699"] Hi! I just wanted to add another Welcome and let you know I admire anyone who is taking all this on- you seem to really care and she is lucky to be gaining you in her life. I second smallworld- I wouldn't be so sure about a diagnosis (diagnosis) just yet. I know we tend to lean toward what our own experiences have taught us and that's probably what I am doing when I say that anytime I hear "I think it is ADHD and ODD" or "depression and acting out", I jump to "Oh, don't rule out bipolar just yet and be careful with stims until you do". Shoot for a private evaluation by more qualified people if you can. It might be good to start writing as much as you can find out about her earlier childhood too, since it doesn't sound like bio-mom is going to be there to answer questions. Kudos to you again and welcome!! [/QUOTE]
