[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 322945"] Our difficult child was also a private adoption. When we contacted the state, we were informed that we were not entitled to any aftercare funding because we adopted privately. When I contacted the private agency, they provided a grand total of zero help....no funding, no advice, no contacts, no information, no history, no nada. Please let me know if you hear differently. I was shocked about this. When I inquired further, apparently it is a completely different story if you adopt from the state and later discover your adopted child has a significant disability. You can receive "after care" funding to help offset your expenses with a state adoption. When I read the Primal Wound, it was interesting to discover that a disproportionate number of adopted children go to RTCs. We sent our son to a TBS....it was debatable if he should go, 'cause his problems were not as severe as those typically attending. But he was clearly headed on the wrong path. Even with some problems there, it helped him a lot and today our son is ultra responsible. husband and I were never sure what the right school would be for our difficult child and never felt comfortable about the costs and to be brutally honest, what the real chances of success would be with this type of school. However, many years have gone by since then. A good educational consultatant might be your best bet...information is powerful. IN the meantime, please enhance your self care routine and relationship with- your hubby. Find the best care possible for your son as well....get some help...don't do this yourself. (hugs) [/QUOTE]
