Parents, did you know that if your child is or has been on medication for ADD or ADHD, they could be prevented from entering any branch of military service? While that may come as a relief to some, if it is what your child wants to do then it has interfered with his or her destiny. And who knows what other jobs or careers a childhood history of medication this could also affect.  This is something every parent (including foster parents!) needs to be aware of before making a possible LIFE-altering decision for their child by allowing them to be put on this type of medication.
