[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 472186, member: 1550"] Can't help you there. If he isn't seeing somebody who is familiar with kids in foster care, the professional probably will not understand exactly HOW damaged the kids can be. You may want to take him to see a neuropsychologist. That is the first thing I do when I get an adopted child. The neuropsychologist can usually tell how bad damage is from in utero drug use. However, your son was probably sexually abused along the way (which is why he chose his sibling to act out on...and he may have acted out on others too). He could hurt your kitten or k ill it. Be careful. Our kid killed two dogs and we blamed it on a "racist" neighbor kid...we were wrong. The older he got, the meaner he got, and his "nice" act to adults sort of imploded. Once we found out the extent of what he had done, we were devestated. We called CPS and he was removed...we did not have the heart or energy to work with him anymore and my younger kids were terrified of him. I could not put them through any more. There are questions as to how much attachment therapy can work. I know there is a doctor in Ohio and a center in Colorado, but I forgot the names. In all seriousness, you probably had a dangerous child on your hands. If I were you, I'd put an alarm on his bedroom door so you could monitor what he does at night when you aren't awake. Our kid did a lot of his dangerous stuff when we were sleeping. I wish you luck and wish I could have helped you more, but we never did find any way to make this child any better. The fact is, he was so good at acting "ok" that not one of his foster parents before us nor us knew he was pretty much a child psychopath. [/QUOTE]
