indigo children??

I saw someone requested this forum and I seconded it because I have to admit I'm intrigued...

I first heard the term 'indigo' a number of years ago when a healer friend of mine used it in reference to my son. He had been diagnosed with so called "ADHD" (which in my opinion is a blanket term applied to a range of symptoms that cant quite be put into another box and yet another excuse to drug our children.... but thats for another discussion).
She told me to look it up, read that book... I admit that the term didnt really register until more people started to mention it to me with regards to my son... and myself.
I was (and still am) sceptical.
But I looked it up and came across the list of defining charactaristics, both for 'Indigo children' and 'Indigo adults'. Both myself and my son can very strongly identify with ALL of the things on these lists.

So are we Indigo children??
Do I even believe in Indigo children??
Do they exist or is it just another scam??

I have to say I still dont know. And thats why I'm here.
I'd like to hear everyone elses take on it (bear in mind that there is a debate forum on the subject too), and definately like to hear the stories of others who consider themselves Indigos.
I've researched it quite a bit at this point and some of the material I've come across is fascinating and heartwarming - I may put this into a blog in due course but my studies are taking priority for the next month or two.

Look forward to hearing from you all,
