[QUOTE="Carolyn9595, post: 382437"] I have adopted twins and my difficult child son ("Captain NO" I call him) is not the child I imagined I would have when we adopted. His sister is not ADHD/ODD like he is. Someone once told me that she was not surprised that the ratio of ADD kids that have been placed for adoption is high. In many cases, impulsive people having impulsive connections without the forethought and responsibility for the results. [I]The tough question is would you reccommend someone to adopt if they did not know the mental health background of both parents? [/I]When you see them as babies, you cannot imagine that they might start your house on fire or have raging tantrums or weekly issues at school, etc. Raising my difficult child with my husband has been overwhelming. He is 15 years old now and 6'2. One has to wonder what impact the yelling and crying and chaos at home has made on her. [/QUOTE]
