I am not trying to sound like I know what I am talking about but I don't think this isn't completely about her being an adopted toddler. Does she speak any words yet? If not or if it very few I would think that he lack of speech is why she is screaming. I do childcare and most of my 16-24m olds scream when something isn't right...in their opinion. This is their way of communicating. They cannot express there emotions by saying...I'm mad, hungry, cranky or something hurts in my ear. They scream. I have 2 kids right now that are constantly screaming. Drives you to the breaking point. As soon as their speaking skills improve the screaming usually curbs...thank goodness. Hope all goes well.
