About Me

I am 53 years old, working in a PhD in ED Psych. I have been an adoptive and foster mother for over 30 years. Most of my kids have been some combination of Bipolar, FASD, RAD, ADHD. GB is 7 and her parents' TPR was approved on 7/28/2010. She will be finalized in a couple of weeks. She has FASD and Bipolar. I have an adult son, J, who is Bipolar and doing very well. I have 2 legally adult children, living at home, MK, who is Bipolar, FASD, EX-RAD and a new mother, and D, who simply isn't functioning. We successfully adopted a 4 1/2 girl, Hope, on August 26, 2010 from a dissolution who is Bipolar, Rad, and had been diagnosed PPD-NOS (PPD-NOS has been removed). I will be a SAHM for a while, then finish my dissertation.
