[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 521747, member: 1550"] Hi. I am an adoptive mom too. The first thing we have to admit when we adopt is that the child is not ours genetically and will inherit gifts and problems from birthparents, as well as wisdom from our parenting (we hope!). Some adopted kids came from more difficult parents than others. Did the birthmother do any drugs or drinking while pregnant? Because of your chld's genetic history, in my opinion it's very important to have him totally evaluated. He could have inherited a mental illness. Psychotic disorders often show up in the teens. Is he taking any recreational drugs, even pot? If psychosis is in the background, pot even pot is pretty dangerous. Has he seen a neuropsychologist or a Psychiatrist? If not, in my opinion it's a good time to do it before things get worse. Do you have a good mental health system in the UK? I'm sorry...I don't know much about it. Glad you found us, but sorry you had to. [/QUOTE]
