[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609147, member: 1550"] Two important questions that may help solve the mystery. 1/Did her birthmother use substances while pregnant? Alcohol? Without a doubt, if she did, substance abuse is very damaging to the brain of a developing fetus and usually causes behavioral problems and often learning problems as well. It is not their faults and they can't help it. You need to see somebody who specializes in drug exposed children if she used anything while pregnant. 2/Were her first three years full of changes and chaos and different people and lots of changes and times when she did not get good care? Did BM bring men into the house who may have abused her? She could have attachment disorder or a form of it if she has lived in a lot of instability in those important infant-three years and again would need somebody who understands this both to diagnose it and to help her the right way. I always recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation for my American friends as they are the best, most thorough diagnosticians we have. I wish you luck and am so sorry you are struggling with her. How is your husband's other child so far? [/QUOTE]
