[QUOTE="raregem, post: 472175"] Thank you for replying Midwest Mom. is he getting any Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) therapy? No, wouldn't even know where to look, I could ask his pdcoc. Was he exposed to drugs and alcohol while his birthmother was pregnant? Definately yes to both. How does he treat animals? Has he ever tried to harm one that you know of? When we first got our kitten difficult child was in the room alone with him and the kitten ended up hurt. difficult child was only 5 at the time and said that the kitten had scratched him and when he flung him off of him the kitten flew into the dresser. We have 3 large dogs that he is constantly agitating and making them growl at him. My pc16 has just gotten a kitten and difficult child is the only one I have ever heard the new kitten growl at. /Does he poop or pee in inappropriate places? no Is he interested in fire? Ever set a fire or small fires? very interested in fire, has not set any As far as his past, his bioligical mother was sent to prison when he was a few months old, then being raised by his biological father who did his best but difficult child was in day care or with a babysitter 7 days a week. Biological mom came home when he was about 2 and then difficult child was taken away from biological parents when they were both sent to prison and put in a foster home when he was 3. He stayed in the foster home for about a year until we took him. He is actually our nephew but we did not know him except for 2 short visits on the holidays before he came to us at age 4.
