[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 410696, member: 393"] Hi & welcome. Another adoptive parent with challenging children on her hands. First & foremost, the abandonment threat is "usually" an empty one. As for the other children if your state has the funds to take on the entire group of children it would be a first. Trying to find homes for that many troubled children would be more than many DFCS department can possibly handle. Vague, likely empty threat in my mind. If terminating parental rights will get C the help that is needed I'd go for it. Does your state have a TPR for good cause law in effect? You might end up paying some child support ~ again unlikely. I walked away from the hospital with-o my difficult child wm ~ the same threats hung over my head. In the long run, medical assistance paid for 6 weeks in patient & then transferred wm to a residential facility for treatment. My husband & I were on the edge & we couldn't have been pushed any further than we already were. Our fear of kt being picked up (another threat) was unfounded. Check in or work with a family law attorney. You will all have to be on the same page. Your difficult child is a hurt child ~ hurt before she was even born. This child deserves so much more & you & yours have done your best. in my humble opinion, it sounds like C needs to be in a home as the only or youngest child. Just some thoughts & experiences for you. [/QUOTE]
