Question 6 year old child may be BiPolar!

Hi,
I'm hoping the experts can help with my question.
My daughter-one of 3 children (all adopted) has had problems from the begining of placement 3 years ago.

I just started therapy with her and they think she has RAD and possibly is BiPolar. At 4 she was diag with ADHD (by another DR) but the ritalin does not help much.
Anyway, the therapist said she needs home therapy (mobile) and this will start soon.
It will consits of 8 hours a week with a therapist comeing into the home to work with her on behaviors and such.

Can anyone tell me what goes on with Mobile (in home) therapy?
The good bad and the ugly is what I want to know?
Do I participate too, what about my other kids? What should we do when this therapist is visiting every day?

And Will my child ever be normal or will she spend most of her life in and out of hospitals for her disorder?

Thank you for your help!
