[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 570870, member: 1550"] Here are links about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). The first is the DSM defintiion/sympoms and reasons for it. The second is more for laypeople. This disorder scares the crapola out of me and she has had the perfect background for it. When people ask me, as an adoptive mom, for advice about adoption, I always suggest they adopt the youngest child they possibly can. There is such a difference between infant adopted kids and older adopted kids as far as how well they can attach to you as their parents. I've done both!!!! Orphanage adoption, which we once did, was also a very negative experience. I'd get her treatment early...she is still very young. It's probably possible to help her attach quite well with proper attachment therapy...just need the right therapist and lots and lots of motivation.
