Hi

My goodness you ave your hands full!!! When do you have time for sleep? lol

I have a grown daughter who doesn't live with me. I adopted my adorable

little daughter when she was 2. She is now 9. She has diligently tried to

drive me crazy but I am still here. Really, I love her to the ends of the

earth but she is definitely a hand full. Then I have a foster son who is 3

and also has his share of issues. My 9 year old is the one that has ds and

autism.

Good place to vent and get ideas. So many nice people. Glad you are back

Hi all,

It has been a LONG while since I have written on this forum. I had became

overwhelmed with life in general and just did not have the time to keep

up. Not that life is any better or less overwhelming but I miss connecting

to a group of folks who understand this crazy life.

We live in CT and I have 4 children that I homeschool b-15, g-12, b-8 and

g-7

My 8 year old has Syndrome-mosaic and is doing pretty well

(actually very well given he has Trisomy 18 mosaic) and my 7 year old, Birgitta

is

why I am here. She was adopted at 12 days old and has been diagnosed with

Fetal alcohol syndrome, downs syndrome and autism. I still recognize many

names on the list and see that others have joined. Hope to be more active

these days.

Blessings,

ponies?

Hi :

How did you get agreement/diagnosis of the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? I have

wondered about that with my younger son – who will be 12 tomorrow. He was

adopted at 2 years 11 months. What I tell teachers is that his “hard drive”

is fine but his “processor” has many glitches. Of course if they don’t know

computers the analogy does not work as well. He is a perfectly fine kid who

looks like he has autism but doesn’t really have enough characteristics to

qualify. But his sensory issues or his processing “glitches” are huge.

What characteristics does Birgitta have? Was her adoption domestic? Both

of my boys were/are domestic adoptions. They are also both big pumpkins

(lots of fun, way too silly).

Welcome back.
