[QUOTE="mdaly22, post: 94271, member: 4281"] Hi, Sheila! I talked with their caseworker this morning. My recommendation is that these boys be placed in a therapeutic foster home where the oldest can get the level of supervision and interaction that he needs. I also recommended that they be the only children there. This 6 year old has loads of potential, but needs more than I can give him. I agree that they haven't had much of an adjustment period with us, but I think that his underlying issues are significant and beyond my comfort zone. In NYS, siblings must be placed together (this is a new law this year). They would only be separated if a psychiatric evaluation concludes that it is in the best interest of the children to separate them (sexual abuse, etc.). The third brother in the picture is in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) now to determine if he can be placed with is other 2 siblings or not. Such a sad situation and I am sad to be a part of it.
