[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...I don’t think the sister’s story is accurate. It doesn’t make sense. Schools do a neuropsych test (the better schools do) to assess the child’s strengths and weaknesses with regard to learning.  There is no testing to predict mental health diagnoses.    It’s not like epilepsy.

You don't think my (the older sister) story is accurate? Do you really think public schools in the mid 70s were doing neuropsych tests on kids who presented as normal? Remember, my sister behaved "normal" from age 7 to 12. It was only when she started acting out at age 12 that my mother requested the state adoption agency's records and learned that the state had a neuro workup that indicated issues. That is how my parents won their lawsuit against the state for the state to pay for residential treatment. I think there is a blurring between neuropsych findings and mental health issues - probably one and the same, when you are talking about neglecting and abusing a 3 yo who doesn't get adopted until age 7. But I was also 19 and am now reporting from the memory of person on the sidelines who was trying to make sense of a crazy, scary, stressful situation.[/quote]

This isn’t about you or her.  If adopted in foster care, child had Medicaid and it will pay. [/quote]
