*I posted this on the adoptive parent forum, then stumbled across this forum so thought I'd post it here too. Thanks.*

Hi.
I just needed to pop over here to get the opinion of others. Our DD will be 18 months of 7/17. She isn't walking yet and isn't talking yet. Just started babbling a month ago. She can pull to standing and attempts to take a step or two but it's almost like she's drunk. She immediately falls over and just appears to be so dizzy and topsy turvy.
She was saying mama & dada around 12 months but isn't saying them much anymore. She used to do a lot of repeating sounds after us, but doesn't do much anymore either.
Obviously I am very concerned. We have an appt. scheduled with Easter Seals to hopefully have an assessment done. I am fearing the worst, but crossing my fingers for the best.
It's very hard to see babies younger than her walking & talking and knowing she should be too. I just get discouraged. Also, I begin to struggle with anger/feelings of unfairness for DD. I know that some drugs were involved inutero but don't know what and I'm not exactly sure how to approach the issue with her birthmom. We are very open in the adoption, but this is a rough subject. I just remember the day we took DD to the dr for the first time after placement her birthmom kept asking if "everything was ok? Is she normal?"

Anyways, any thoughts/opinions/insights would be great!
