[QUOTE="agee, post: 295384"] Thanks to everyone who's replied. This is invaluable information. Yes, my son was in an orphanage. Goes with the territory with an EE adoption. He was with his bio family for the first 8 mos. of life and in an orphanage for 7 mos. He came to us very affectionate and used to being touched and handled, however. He didn't have one special caretaker in his children's home. I have thought about attachment issues a lot with him and have read several books on the subject, but when I've asked his doctors. they don't seem to think it's an issue. Maybe they just don't have experience in it. He certainly doesn't have Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). He is very wary around other people and he's affectionate with us. His birthparents were both alcoholics. All 5 of their children (my son was the youngest) were removed from their home for neglect. I know there was prenatal alcohol exposure, I just can't prove it. Off I go to look up neuropsychs and autism... A [/QUOTE]
