The adoptive family of a girl with multiple diagnoses is asking for the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development to give them support to carry on as a family.

The girl, who is now eight years old , was adopted from the ministry when she was two years old .

She has fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, autism, moderate intellectual disability, ADHD, unspecified anxiety disorder, and a language disorder.

The foster mother is a special education assistant in the school system.

More than 34 per cent of respondents said they have children with disabilities who are ineligible for any support.

Twenty-one per cent said they did so solely to get services the child could not get had they remained in their own homes.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development said it is working on a new framework.
