New to Disaboom? Welcome!

Hello.  I am new to disaboom but already love it.  I am the parent of two children adopted from China, one of whom has a spectrum of relatively severe learning disabilities due to conditions in her first two years of life, spent in a remote and very poor orphanage.  She is "in there"... we are teaching her strategies to overcome and she will be attending a new, amazing school in the fall but always looking for more, new ideas and support.   She is a beautiful, loving child who tries so hard and I am so very, very proud of her.  Is there an LD group here?

 Hi rsroge, I'm Sandy. Welcome to Disaboom! I don't know if there is or not but someone probably does. I wish I could help. Take Care Now, Sandy

 

I am new to disaboom also. Actually, I signed up last month or the month before. I was very anxious to become involved and very excited to find the site.  However, I have had a chaotic couple of months or so due to family situations and have not been able to spend anytime online..  Hopefully things are now under control so I can become involved. The reason I am responding to your post is , I had an accident that left me like a 9 month old baby and I had to learn all over again.. I would love to chat with you regarding your daughter, if you would like, and  maybe I could be of some assistance to you with her.  Also, I have a friend in North Dakota that adopted two children from China.  They are preciou. She did not gain custody of the first child until she was almost two . The second child came to live with her when she was 4 months old.  The one that was almost two, had a lot more to overcome, it seems, than the second child.  They are both doing great though and both have really adjusted and show great signs of advancement. They are now 5 years old and 3. 

Welcome to Disaboom.  One of the great things about this site is that if you don't find exactly what you are looking for you can create it yourself!  Would you consider starting your own group or discussion in the forums?  You'll probably find a lot of people with concerns similar to yours and who might be able to help you.
