[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 317862, member: 1550"] Have to agree with checking out significant attachment issues. I would think it would be almost impossible that by seven he didn't have these problems. I adopted a six year old and he's thirty-two now and still struggling with attachment. He was almost a formed person when you adopted him (as my son says to me about himself). It is harder to adopt a child whose basic personality has already been formed and who had much chaos and probably abuse for all those years. There are a lot of books about attachment. Unfortunately, I can't think of any titles now. But I'd get him into therapy with somebody who understands that an adopted seven year old is not the same as just somebody's biological child who is having problems. These are deeper and different on top of the regular stuff! Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
