[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 280485, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]All the trust issues, etc that come with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) are a long term treatment process. The facility in Colorado, while it has great short term success ~ the long term isn't that great from what I've read/researched. Saying that, nurturing is a process from the day a child is born. You're behind the 8 ball when you've adopted an older child; I suggest you pick up the book Parenting the Hurt Child - I don't necessarily agree with all the treatment options suggested in this book however there are many great ideas for nurturing/attaching. Parenting with Love & Logic has been a better approach for my difficult children (both diagnosis'd with severe attachment disorder & PTSD, bipolar). Please check your local mental health center to find an adoptive/attachment specialist ~ that may be the place to start. I assume your difficult child came with medical insurance thru the adoptive contract & therapy should be covered. I forgot to welcome you - I hope we can help you with any questions you may have.
