I found your post as I was looking for information on adopting an older child. I was raised by a mother who has undiagnosed ocd and have a brother who is schitzophrenic. While our home was disorganized and my mother fell to pieces frequently, I am one of ten children, she loved us and that is really all that matters. I would encourage you to get support and allow yourself to know that many people from untreated undiagnosed disorders and raise wonderful children. I alos think being appropriatley honest with your child will help him deal with things when days get a bit bumpy. In closing, there is so much more support these days for folks with disorders and whatever decision you make, give yourself time.
