[QUOTE="sjomcg, post: 482367, member: 13244"] Hi Midwest! Yes, my difficult child was abandoned at birth (in the hospital) and lived in orphanage until we met him at 15 mo of age. We have no info on gestation, pre-natal exposure, birth process, degree of neglect (intentional or non-intentional), childhood diseases .... nothing. One week after arriving home we had our appointment with the pediatrician he weighed only 16 lbs. We were told he suffered institutional delay and malnutrition. We knew [B]nothing[/B] when we traveled over to Ukraine. We had no children and he had no parents..... should be a perfect fit right? If I could do it all over again I would not change anything..... I would just be more prepared and have started learning to help him a lot earlier. He has had some testing done through school. Crazy thing is... sometimes he acts like a easy child!!!! It is then when he does his best to manipulate the situation and control everything. He rates very high in opposition and aggression. He has a very high IQ which doesn't make it easier. He does not qualify for an IEP because no learning problems. I am anxious and nervous about what the Neuro psychiatric evaluation will show but at least we will know what we are dealing with. We have read all the books and spent countless hours on the internet. NOTHING seems to describe our boy. ?????? My husband thinks we should write a book. LOL! Thanks again! I will check back often. This forum seems to give me peace like I have not experienced in a few years. [/QUOTE]
