A curious post to another board brought me here and I am so glad to have found this board.


I have two children, a 12 year old DD and a 10 1/2 year old DS.

Welcome to the group. Sounds like you have a great family. I'm sure that your kids do know that you love them and appreciate all that you've done for them. Their biological parents sound terrible! I can't imagine treating my children that way.

My twins are adopted too. Although we've had them since they were 7 months old. Nevertheless, they have ADHD and dyslexia. It's so hard to know what's behind some of their quirks.

Hi Madalot, welcome to the board. I am here not because of parenting (I am only 17) but because I work as a mentor/ Big Sister in a volunteer program with an 11-year old, Caitlin. Your story caught my eye because it seems simialar to Caitie's. She was adopted by an older couple (both in their 60's now) as a baby because her mother couldn't take car of her. Her adopted parents also have adopted 3 of their grandchildren, all with ADHD and FASD, so Caitie has a lot of issues with the whole thing. I am looking forward to reading your posts and noticing similarities between Caitie and your DD in behaviour. This my most recent issue with her:
