No I'm not an MD. My initials are DRJ. A few days shy of my 45th birthday, we arrived home from Russia with identical twin girl babies. Life has been a wild roller coaster ride ever since. Our girls have both been diagnosed with ADHD and reading disabilities. We've been through many struggles with the school district and a wide array of "billing professionals". But our girls are happy and beautiful middle schoolers. To meet them, you would never guess that they've had so many difficulties. Despite their challenges, they keep on plugging and loving life because of their many strengths.
