[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 80399, member: 3626"] Hi and welcome. I think you can find info on the Chandler Papers in the FAQs. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is reactive attachment disorder and it is, to put it mildly, ugly! Basically, it means a person cannot truly attach to another. Sometimes you get lucky with intensive therapy and some attachment forms. Another thing to consider is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) (foetal alcohol sydrome and effect). Both of these are organic. Social services will do their best to help as little as possible. A child in a good home is of low priority. You may have to go to court and file a CHINS (child in need of services). The odds are that if social services does get involved they will insist you relinquish all parental rights but still force you to pay for foster care, etc. It is not a kind system. Do try to get a neuropsychiatric evaluation. It will help a lot in getting any services. Even though you are in the US, it seems as if Canada should be able to provide some help (check with social services here and see if they have any suggestions to go this route), especially if you can prove something neurological or organic. I'm sorry you are going through this. It is so hard to have such battles and see no way out. [/QUOTE]
