[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 108025, member: 3419"] Gosh, my gut instinct says go for it, because they already know and trust you, to a point, despite the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I'd hate to bounce her out again. on the other hand, I know exactly what you mean when you say that "the spontaneous joy has been sucked out of our home." Those are your two main issues for now. If you adopt her, you will be in for a long process but I have seen many successful adoptions with-Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids. I also agree that they do well in one-on-one situations. The parent can focus all of their energies on the child and have clear boundaries and rules, and not be distracted by the other kids, or have the other kids' lives disrupted. This is a tough one. Wish I could be of more help. [/QUOTE]
