[QUOTE="Jena, post: 411351, member: 4514"] hi welcome!! sorry you had to find us yet you are in a good place. i have no adoptive children, and you have gotten great info from the members here which have walked and survived a similar path. I will say though I once worked with a child who was also adopted for about 9 mos. in home theraputic care, he too was sexually abused and also physically and emotionally abused on levels i could not even begin to share. it would sicken many here. his story has remained fresh in my mind since the day i met him. with intensive in home therapy, a group of people working with the parents, him and siblings he was able to not only heal from his horrid and devastating abuse yet he was able to in time begin to heal, want a happy life for himself and realize he deserved good. he was in the program a total of 3 years and in the end graduated high school, they wanted to bounce him out due to a few rough situations along the way with various teachers nothing too traumatic yet once i at a cse mtg. explained the road he's walked the horrors he'd seen and told them you must give this kid a chance they did and he met the challenge. dont' be so quick to assume the worst. i do not think she will have a horrible life. healing does come with hard work and yes medications will be necessary for her obviously. yet placing her in residential may not be the best answer only you know best. you may not think that right now yet in time the answers will come to you. i wish you luck, you are a great parent, and yes have taken on alot yet you sound as though you are ready for the challenge. (((Hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
