Merry

My soon to be 8 year old came to live with us when she was 3. We were her 6th placement. Since she has come to live with us we have been through several doctors and therapists. She has been diagnosed with OCD, Bipolar, FAE/FAS, PTSD, and RAD. We had already adopted another daughter at the age of 9 months. She was diagnosed with FAE, ADHD, and Tourettes. She was immediately placed into a loving foster home after birth and we were her second placement. We knew the challenges of our first one and thought we could handle a second special needs adopted child. We had no idea the roller coaster ride we were in for!
