Hi HoosierMommy,
I know a couple adopted two kids from very awful circumstances - so awful that one parent went to jail for 10 years. The two kids were both assumed to be LD by everyone. The little girl has actually turned out to be GT. The boy still has issues, but much of that it turns out is due to heredity that runs in the male line of his fathers side and will fix itself when he gets older - AND he has severe eye issues just recently diagnosed. I watched the kids blossom under the couple's care and the little girl just took off. It is a journey and you just have to get on the road.
