[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 9397, member: 2322"] Janna, it is a really big decision. I wouldn't believe Soc serv, though the story is probably some where in the middle. I guess for me the big thing is if you bring him home, what are you going to do when he decides to test whether the placement is permanent? While rules etc are all necessary, given his history and all he has been through, some testing will be inevitable. How would you deal with it? I think the kid probably needs to know that he is with you for the duration, barring anything that would get him sent to jail or a mental hospital or the like. I imagine his greatest need right now is to be somewhere where people will work with him no matter what. I also imagine that you are much better placed with all that you have been through with Dylan to get him the services that he needs if he is at home with you. It is a tough decision--with so much history, I think it would be really hard to get beyond it. It will only work if you can embrace him with a completely open heart, I would think. hugs. [/QUOTE]
