does ADD run in families?
Small 86-
Yes, absolutely ADD/ADHD runs in families. I am an adoptee, bmom of Chris and Sean, mom of Jessica and Janice, and "extra" mom of Andrew. Of my 5, 4 have been diagnosed with ADHD, along with the fact that I was diagnosed with ADHD back when they just called it "hyperactive". Absolutely, it runs in families. Should it affect your decision, that is something that only you can decide. Are they worth the extra effort???? Absolutely, they love unconditionally, however, there are other issues to deal with also. Feel free to email me at:
