[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 573789, member: 1550"] Hi there, from one adoptive parent to another. Right off the bat, I would like you to maybe read a link about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), reactive attachment disorder, because it would be very unlikely with their backgrounds that that is their main problem. I Most therapists or even psychiatrists know very little about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), but foster and adoptive parents know if they have ANY kind of contact with a parent group. It is not easy to treat and requires some nonconventional parenting so that the children can attach. Do you know anything about their biological family besides that they were violent? Any diagnosed mental illness? DNA plays a part in resilience too as does whether or not Birthmom took care of herself during pregnancy and did not drink or use drugs. Ok, here are a few links. There are also some very good books. I'll post my favorite. Have you joined an adoptive parent group of parents of older adoptees?
