We have 4 adopted children and 1 adopted granddaughter. Boy 24, Girl 22, boy 17, girl 16 and grand baby 3. We went through foster care because I could not have children. Each one of my children were drug babies. We only took babies between 6weeks to 6 mos. The oldest had many problems in the beginning, adhd, conduct disorder, and impulsive disorder. He was not an easy child and went the way of drugs and living on the streets to this day He fathered 3 children that I will never get to see. Next child is Bipolar and would run away constantly at 17. She refused getting help so we have her first born baby and she is now prego with her 3rd. Last two kids are half siblings, Same mom, different dads. My son has struggled through many things but is my successful kid who wants to make something of his life. He has many issues to get through but I think he will be okay. Then his sister I have had behavior problems since she could talk. We have lived with her constant anger and mood swings for sooo many years that we don't know how to have fun anymore as a family. We are prisoners in our own home having to watch her every move, locks on all doors and wondering what was gonna happen next. She refuses counseling, and mouths at the physiatrist. She has been to a resident treatment facility one time, and our insurance wont approve her again due to her not going to counseling. Grrr. One of us needs to be home with her due to all the bad stuff she has done. The police have now put an ankle moniter on her. I could go on but Id have to write a book to tell my life with her. I appreciate your support and understanding in our situation. I am going to do counseling soon for me to better cope.
