I am the cauc adoptive mom of two So American children. My daughter, who looks more like a bi-racial child, is now, at age 10, becoming suddenly very unmanageable. I think some is due to hormones. Also, her birth mom seemed to have trouble with mood management, and my daughter has neurological issues (mild seisure disorder controlled by meds). I simply don't know where to look for resources to help with counselling over adoption and possibly attachment disorder. She keeps talking about her birth mom, but also about all sorts of people who are no longer around (due to moving, job changes, and death). Does anyone out there know of a web source for adoption-related counselling. We live in Albuquerque, NM, by the way. I have asked around but no help so far. She is not too good on the keyboard, but I imagine soon she will be able to join a chat room for others in her situation.
