[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 108070, member: 1550"] I had a Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) child and he ended up sexually abusing my younger kids. I didn't know he had Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) when we adopted him. His report said he was a great kid (he fooled even his psychiatrist) with some cognitive delays (don't believe this for a moment--I think he was very bright). Obviously, we had to let him go. My youngest two kids were traumatized from his sexual abuse, which he hid well and scared the younger kids into not talking about (and, yes, we had that talk about good and bad touches and how Daddy and Mommy would believe them if they ever told us something like that). It's your call, but Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids are very mentally ill and may never get better. It's costly and expensive therapy and love doesn't fix it because Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids are afraid of your love. They act our even more when you love them. This child was given a great life with us, a stable home, but he got worse with time. We didn't know about the sexual abuse though. By then it was too late. Our younger two kids will always have that memory. [/QUOTE]
