[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 469060, member: 1550"] I've adopted four kids. I'd be shocked if they seperated the siblings. And after having adopted a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kid who was so disturbed he had to leave our family, I personally don't think it's worth disrupting the lives of your other kids. I think these difficult kids are better off in homes where the kids are much, much older or where there are no other kids at all. It is hard to get older adopted kids to bond with you and they are very difficult without that bond. Unless you are 100% sure of his background (and nobody ever is), he could even end up sexually abusing your other kids...our adopted son did that. You're taking a big chance if you jump in. Sounds like he is affecting everybody negatively. My vote would be to think it over very carefully and remember that he will not always be so small and cute. [/QUOTE]
