Allow me to introduce myself- My name is Michele and I am a single parent of an adoptive son- I chose to adopt a child as I saw the need to give a child a loving home- boy did I not know what I had gotten myself into- Marcus was a little over 4 when I adopted him and the behavioral issues and just starting- he suffered from ADHD and PTSD ( yes PTSD in a child is possible), he also had severe aggression and violence tendencies. I say suffered because he is not suffering anymore but through a lot of time and commitment on both our parts and awesome health care, teachers, mentors, friends, and family we were able to conquer the behavioral challenges- we still have minor minor set backs from time to time but he is a tween so that is to be expected.
I adopted my son Marcus- you can read our story at my other blog if you choose to at:

My son who has behavioral and emotional needs-and I want other
parents to know they are not alone-
Here you will find
encouragement-resources- a place to vent - a place to discover that you are not
the only parent out there with a child with behavioral and emotional needs-
I am here to listen, here to help you through a tough time, here to let you
know that you are not alone.
I am not an expert or claim to be- I am
just a parent sharing their experiences and willing to help where I can- these
are strictly my opinions and the techniques I have used.
Please seek
professional help as deemed necessary - If you need assistance with finding the right professional help I can point you in the right direction- I know many in the Hillsborough/Pasco area that can be of great benefit to your child.
