[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 291824, member: 1550"] Having adopted three kids from foster care, only one is still with our family. I have found that older adopted kids usually come with too much baggage--ours was extremely dangerous. We terminated the adoption--he was molesting our younger adopted kids (they are still with us--the younger adoptions worked; the older adoptions did not). I would say that if you want to retain custody, you may have to parent him from your home while he lives elsewhere. He likely does have a form of attachment disorder and whatever else he may have inherited from his biological parents. If he was exposed to drugs/drinking in utero, he could have alcohol effects too. It's possible you may never find out everything that is wrong. I'm sorry this happened. We adopt to try to give kids a home and love and we also want children. But I have found that many kids don't want love and are worse when we love them. There are some kids that can't be helped, a big shock to me! Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
