[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 682345, member: 18958"] I think the jury is still out. As SWOT mentions a lot of teenage behavior looks like this. I think it is too easy to overuse psychological concepts and diagnoses. Even people with 30 years of education may not agree on diagnoses. In fact they typically do not. It is not uncommon for a patient to accumulate a dozen or more diagnoses only because diagnosing is an art as well as a science. There is a large element of subjectivity involved.I was born 3 months early and spent that time in an incubator in the hospital away from my parents. I had the croup and again was hospitalized twice before I was a year old. While I would not equate this with what my son experienced which was his first 22 months in a crisis nursery, it is on the continuum. My son bonded immediately to me as did I to him. He called me Mama the first time he met me. Nobody coached him. While I am not saying he does not or did not suffer from attachment issues, that there was a vulnerability would have never been a reason to not adopt him. Remember that there is not one person on this forum that knows your granddaughters. You know them. When we are hurt and afraid it is almost as if we cannot not consider worst case possibilities. I would try to remember this. COPA [/QUOTE]
