[QUOTE="DDD, post: 587069, member: 35"] I scan read the story in the paper today and honestly my first thought was the boy is a difficult child because the only thing listed in the newspaper was that his new Mother was always telling him what to do. Huh? Isn't that what all Moms have to do with adolescents? The fact that he had to live on the streets and beg for food?? The only reason he "had to do that", it appears, was because he would not (likely could not due to his history) accept that kids can't do as they want to do. Geez, I was a easy child and my boyfriend and I really believed our parents should let us get an apartment for the summer and live alone for a fw months. Loads of bio difficult children "buck" at that age. I'm guessing that his parents could not find or afford sufficient help to maintain their new family. Like most of you I have seen very very few successful adoptions with older children. The impact of those early years really makes a huge difference. Sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
