[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 229121, member: 1550"] I'm an adoptive mom of four and I have a few questions.How old was he when you adopted him and was he in an orphanage? Do you have any info on the birthparents? Any known psychiatric disorders? Substance abuse? Do you know if the birthmother took care of herself in her pregnancy? Did she drink? It is harder if you don't know anything. We had some info on all four kids. in my opinion your son probably has way more going on than ADHD. He could have attachment disorder, bipolar has already been diagnosed (and is much more likely to cause rages than ADHD)...are you talking about seizures? He may have them, but in my opinion it's probably not the entire problem. If his b-mom drank he could have fetal alcohol issues. Has he had a neuropsychologist evaluation. Our complicated adopted kids usually need a lot of evaluations over periods of time. The less we know about the birthparents, the harder it is for professionals to know what is wrong. [/QUOTE]
