[QUOTE="buddy, post: 496051, member: 12886"] OH NO! I wrote long before you put this post up! Sorry, it is gonna take a while before I have the energy to go through what I told you about last night again! LOL. You can't do any work while he is doing things at home? He needs direct monitoring or is demanding of your attention ??? Just curious. I do think you are right then, if he has been going that much then the time together does need to happen too. You do such nice activities with him that allow for play and talk, like your walks in the woods. I was thinking of your post from a while ago about moving. I think this will all be a big consideration... If there will be more options for therapeutic interventions for you guys in the future. Thanks for reminding me of his early story. Yes, I would imagine that even if poverty was the only issue that lead to relinquishment, that often means the baby was nutritionally deprived and I have read that even bio parents of kids with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) have been stated that they had histories of not wanting the pregnancy and not feeling bonded to the baby growing inside....(leading to less bonding chemicals, altered brain development, etc.). Of course the being in an orphanage without normal cuddles, coos, quick response to wet diapers, hunger etc. and if he was in one where if a bottle fell out and a stronger or more developed baby could grab it.... those things are the obvious ones considered so I can see why you think he is so at risk even beyond his current behavioral issues. I am sorry he is struggling so. And there is so much going on for you right now, you are overworked in both areas of your life. It is really cool you chose to spend time with him though. And that he wanted that. Q would never have chosen me over going somewhere else! [/QUOTE]
