I know this post is old and all, but I really want to set the record straight. I am Dorothy Anne Graham, Sarah's Biological mother. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 29 years old not Bipolar. I have never been Bipolar and proved that in a court of law. I chose to give custody and then adoption of Sarah to Laurie Graham after finding out she needed extensive physical therapy which at the time I was unable to afford after a horrific accident. Laurie and I had come to an agreement at the time and if she would have followed through with said court rulings she would have been well aware that ADHD runs in my side of Sarah's family. There are several other non-mental medical conditions that also run in my side of Sarah's life. Ones that I am now dying from.

Anne, I'm sorry no one replied here before. We don't come here and check like we should anymore. I pray all goes well for you and Sarah. Rest assured we have no desire to judge anyone. We realize there are 2 sides to every story and we rarely hear more than one side. No matter what conditions you are dealing with and what Sarah has, it isn't caused by being a bad person. You can't help what was passed down to you and Sarah through heredity. All anyone can do is deal with the issues the best we can. You did what you felt was best for Sarah at the time and that is the most loving thing anyone could do. Laurie sounds like she loves Sarah and wants to do what is best for her. It is hard parenting a special needs child. I wish there was a way the two of you could get along and work together for Sarah's sake. If you can't, just know we are are here for both of you if you need to talk.
