[QUOTE="buddy, post: 520887, member: 12886"] Hello Willow! I'm an adoptive mom to an aggressive child too. Do they have a diagnosis of attachment disorder by any chance? They were in that orphanage for all of the critical time that kids develop the ability to attach and trust, to care for others, etc. Have you checked any websites related to that? IC always knows the link to a page where I listed a bunch of them but I can connect you with a few quickly.... [url]http://www.radkid.org/[/url] [url]http://www.attachment.org/letter-to-teachers/[/url] my favorite: [url]http://attach-china.org/[/url] Sorry you are going through this....It is hard enough having ONE but to have them both swapping out you never get a break from it. Do you have any school or county support for kids with special needs? If they are starting to do this in school it is important to have them get in Special Education before they are "managed" inappropriately. If your insurance wont cover a neuropsychologist, you might try searching for a developmental pediatrician and they can do an evaluation, often they have a full team that they work with so you get a broad evaluation too. Can you pursue an Occupational Therapist (OT) (occupational therapy) evaluation and S/L (speech language communication) evaluation on your own...will insurance cover those? Especially since they were raised in an orphanage and have a questionable birth history, they may have fine motor and sensory integration issues that need to be addressed. As they develop and grow it can cause variability in their symptoms which may be setting them off behaviorally. I hope you can get some answers to make sure you are getting the help you need and all the support you and they deserve. We have several adoptive parents here who have kids with similar issues. Actually several newer members so I hope they drop in and share with you. Some have found some good help and therapy that is working for their kids. It is a rough road and it makes it hard to be a consistent, loving caregiver when you are being hurt by your own kids...not just the physical but the words are really hard to take sometimes, even if we know they really dont get it.
