[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 182755, member: 3419"] Thank you. I met the bmom when she was in labor. We had a mtng arranged by the adoption svc. She was in labor and ate a bunch of pasta. Teenagers! LOL! I cannot guarantee she didn't use drugs, although I highly doubt it, but she did not use alcohol and still does not. I know they had a regular prenatal checkup schedule. And I have the delivery dr and regular dr on the birth certif. The bio dad did use pot and still does. I don't know what else ... we haven't heard from him in yrs. But every psychiatric I've talked to told me that is not significant. They all want to know about the bmom. My son's delays were not terribly obvious. The one that stands out in my mind is that he didn't learn to tie his shoes until his was 7. I remember how many screaming meltdowns he had when I tried to teach him. He was also delayed in music. Weird. His kindergarten teacher asked me if I'd ever noticed that he doesn't sing or dance like the other kids; he just sits there. He loved it when I danced with-him as a baby. He would stay awake for hrs until I was exhausted and ran out of lullabyes, and ended up not dancing any more, but just swaying with-him and singing bawdy beer drinking songs, LOL. He had moments when he wouldn't talk at all, but it wasn't like a mo or yr; it seemed like it was arbitrary. He screamed and pointed at things instead of using words; I tried to withhold things until he'd say the word propoerly but unlike my easy child, instead of trying, he would scream more loudly. Everyone told me that was typical for a boy. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
