[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 350100, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board. Im gathering that you adopted this child fairly recently as a somewhat older child right? Along with younger siblings? My opinion is probably different than others on the board. I do believe she has other problems than simple ADHD but I also believe that a child of 6 or 7 can be just scarred for life if they have been badly abused both in utero and after in the first 5 years. I have read several books by some child psychologists who deal with this issue and the outlook does appear grim. Of course, most of those kids continue to live in the same bleak conditions they were being raised in the first 5 years so there is a ray of hope that the change in circumstance for your daughter will give her more of a chance to live a healthier life. Sorry I sound so awful...dont mean to. Yes I think you should get her tested to see what they say. I hope you can get her all the help they recommend. I hope you got some good adoption aftercare.
