I have ADD and 4 girls with varying degrees of ADD/ADHD, I lost the youngest 2 to their very ill and abusive father for a time after my 2nd divorce(not from their father) and a forclosure on my home. My best support in getting them back was the local domestic violence shelters staff and resources. They were not all that knowledgeble about ADD but they did no all about good moms being messed over by a system that still in this day and age favors fathers who have money, careers and a persona of stability. Talk with them and try and also get statements from doctors and therapists you can trust about yours and your kids mental health to present to DSS. It will be hard but take your meds, don't lose your temper and do not cry in front of officials(they use emotional outbursts as examples of instability)try to calmly state your case, if possible at a hearing and see if the (a lot of shelters have a paralegal)shelters paralegal can go with you. Even if you are not in the shelter they will help. Don't lose hope, be strong for your kids, YOU CAN WIN.
