Parenting, even in the best of situations, can be challenging. When you add the challenges that some children who you foster and/or adopt may have faced in their lives and then top it off with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, you may find yourself on a parenting roller coaster ride!

Information is power. Start taking control of the ups and downs that parenting a child with bipolar disorder can bring by learning all that you can about the disease, getting a proper diagnosis, getting the very best treatment to which you can find access, and surround yourself with people who know what you are going through!

Join foster/adoptive parents right here in your region in sharing the ups and downs of parenting a child who has bipolar disorder. Please share the joys of parenting, the challenges of parenting, and what you have found to help in your parenting journey!
