[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 64320, member: 1550"] i also wondered about fetal alcohol exposure, which is common in those parts. Those kids have true organic brain damage, are very impulsive, don't "get" things, and tend to appear not to have a conscience because they don't connect "right" from "wrong." Do you know if his birthmother drank? I just finished reading a good book called "The Broken Cord" by Michael Dorris who adopted a child who turned out to have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Then he adopted two more who ended up having fetal alcohol effects (normal IQ and no dysmorphic features, but just as many problems). This can seriously mimic Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). How does he do in school? Can he remember things from day to day? [/QUOTE]
