[QUOTE="Christy, post: 142805, member: 225"] I'm so sorry for what you are going through. So many times children are adopted and given a new chance at life and it ends up being a disater for the adoptive parents. An author of a book I read once on Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) referred to it as "poodles adopting pitbulls." This being said, I can see how much you care for your children by how many things you have done for them. It is so frustrating, I know. We fostered then later adopted our son at age 4. He came to us from an residential facility because of agression in a previous foster home. We thought it was ridiculas for a 4 year old to be in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He did better with us but was always a difficult child. When he was kicked out of several daycares, we hired a private nanny (at our expense even though he was still our foster son), we attended counseling, had testing done, began medications, had in-home behavioral specialists, enrolled him in a specialized theraputic school and later I quit my job as a teacher to homeschool him, and still now at age 9 he is in an inpatient facility for violent towards me and my husband and anyone else that dares to cross him. medications. are not working and we have no idea where to go from here. His violence and behavior problems have made our lives a living hell. And the craziest thing of all, we love him so much that all we want is for him to come home! So from one "glutton for punishmnet" to another, I wish you the best of luck with your situation, and hope the break you are way past deserving finally comes your way. Take care, Christy [/QUOTE]
