[QUOTE="buddy, post: 590353, member: 12886"] Adoption issues are tricky, add it to the teen years and it can be a real mess. Have you felt before this that she is bonded to you? I think you did the right thing bringing her in. When it comes to attachment (I'm no expert, just throwing an impression out) it takes specialized therapists who really understand those dynamics. I would read about it. She doesn't sound like someone with full blown reactive attachment disorder, but you've only shared a little. It is a disorder that is on a spectrum and some kids have miller issues, some are unable to bond anyone. Does she show empathy and sympathy? Is she kind to animals? Does she generally tell the truth (or at least until she became a teen?).....Did her birth mom use alcohol or drugs? Did birth mom have any mental health issues, birth dad? Their families? Any other behavioral concerns? Welcome, I understand how awful it feels to have.made that decision to put them in the hospital, so heartbreaking.... [/QUOTE]
