Hi Everyone:

We're seeing our DS for four days every weekend. We're planning a full week in July, but we'll have to miss one weekend to do it. We're hoping to have him move in full time in August.

He seems to be adjusting well. We seem to be having some problems --mostly to do with his ADHD (he's very impulsive). We did get a book on it, and it describes him to a tee. It suggests a point system where he gets points for taking a shower, picking up his clothes, etc., and then he can turn in points to watch tv, go on the computer, etc. It is complicated, but might work for him. Has anyone had any experience with ADHD?

I think it will be easier when he is here full time. He can be very polite, sweet, do what he is told, and then another time, he is argumentive--of course he is 13 years old--that is an age they start testing you.

JL--my thoughts are with you hoping you get a match soon!
Szypzz-glad everything is going so well!
