[QUOTE="TheBoyHasArrived, post: 570917, member: 14829"] It definitely could be related to attachment, but it doesn't necessarily have to be Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). My youngest sister (adopted at 1 yr with only one caregiver) has many attachment disorder-ish characteristics (had A LOT as a toddler), but definitely would not be considered to have Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). My kiddo (adopted at 5.5 yrs with a pretty chaotic history) has many attachment disorder-ish characteristics, but would not be considered to have Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) at this point. It's too soon to tell if my son will have on-going attachment issues or if it's just where we are in the process. BUT, we parent as if kiddo has Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Obviously, it's something we worry about, but we are still hopeful. [/QUOTE]
