[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 714539, member: 16024"] Hi and welcome Sorry you have to deal with this. I encourage you to seriously consider postponing the adoption. There may come a time when you might need to distance yourself and your youngest both physically and financially from Sal. Many of our difficult kids became progressively worse as they went through puberty between the ages of twelve and fifteen. You don't know what you may be dealing with in the future. You won't be able to keep your eyes on your baby 100% of the time as he becomes mobile and busy. You can't trust Sal around a younger child, and you can't be there a every moment. I knew a couple that adopted a 10 year old and weren't told the truth about some of his issues. By age 11 he had grown tremendously and was bigger and stronger than their two older (also adopted) kids. He started sexually and physically acting out, and they had to call the police several times. He was put into a facility and the parents had to pay support to the state until he turned eighteen. They had barely finalized the adoption when it got so out of control, yet they were blamed as if they were the cause of his problems. That dad and grandma are trying to sweep this under the rug is concerning. And grandma attempting to let Sal hold the baby is a real worry. I would put a stop to that immediately. I'm glad you are taking this seriously. Does Sal have any behavior problems at school? [/QUOTE]
