wilsonta,
i have been through what your going through now. First off, i had to do all the foot work for my sons.
it was the hardest thing i ever had to do. We decided to hold off on adopted our children until we figured out what we were dealing with
do you have a childrens hospital in your area?
both kids are on state insurance. You need to get them in counseling ASAP. From there, you can get a psych evals, neuro testing, etc.
your children are allowed services, all services, and you should not be paying for anything, except the parking and the gas.
This was the toughest part for us. we got the kids, and then everything seemed to fall apart.
where was all the support we were going to get?
one of the things i had to do is switch my hats, not only was i a parent, but had to become their case worker. Pending on what we were dealing with, i had to keep changing hats
its hard. I wouldnt worry about what is wrong with the children right now...take one step at a time and get them in counseling.
from there, the counselor can help you get services.
i know our social worker used to say "well, their testing, well they feel safe to let it all out, your doing a great job, it will pass....etc."
i use to say to her..."well, you dont have to live with these kids."
again, you should not pay for anything, they are not legally your children. They do have health insurance, and thats what you should use to get them services.
