[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687494, member: 1550"] We adopted an 11 year old boy who had a stellar psychiatric record, but fooled his last five foster parents and us. In actuality, although he was great at acting like an angel to adults, he had sex repeatedly with my two babies and scared them with ing threats not to tell us. They didn't. He also killed two beloved dogs. We didn't think it was him the first time. The second time it HAD to be him and his entire story emerged, all of it. We called CPS and told them to take him before we killed him. They did. We never saw him again and social services paid for therapy for our family. We bonded stronger than ever as a family and survived but we are done adopting. Reactive attachment disorder is too big a risk. We do have one biological grown child and three adopted kids who came at young ages and are delightful and beloved. They are all doing well. Some kids are too damaged/dangerous to live in a family. We severed the adoption without consequences. He was never coming back. Period. You don't have to do this, but this is what we did and have never been sorry. He kept perping in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) until he aged out. I hope you find a solution that works for your family. Big hugs. [/QUOTE]
