[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 543351, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome to the board, but sorry you have to be here... I have a few questions that could help us, help you. I'm an adoptive mom of three kids (and we started out with five adopted...we've seen the great, the bad, and the horrendous in adoption). 1/Since you know the birthparents, do you know if birthmother took good care of herself while she was pregnant? 2/Did she get prenatal care? Did she abstain from drinking or using drugs, even prescription drugs? 3/What were your daughters early years like? Were they pretty stable or filled with chaos? 4/Does your daughter make good eye contact, like hugs, have a good imagination, and know how to relate normally with her same age peers? 5/Is your daughter kind to animals and leave matches alone? Any inappropriate peeing and pooping? (I'm guessing no to all three). 6/ How does she do in school? Any complaints from the teachers? Is there a father in the house? How is s he with him? Any siblings? 7/Does she rage? Raging is not normal. Actually, being negative to the extreme all the time isn't really your normal kid either. However ODD isn't a very useful diagnosis. Many of us here don't care f or that diagnosis. I am thinking more of possible insecure attachment due to her early years, which is why I asked the questions I did. She does not sound severe, unless you are not telling us everything. I would get a neuropsychologist evaluation. It's always a good idea to get the opinion of a professional and I feel neuropsychs give the best overall picture (and we've seen 'em all considering all our adoptions!) :/ Anyhow, welcome again :) [/QUOTE]
