[QUOTE="7jewels, post: 378282"] TALN, Your opinion about possible Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) sought. Our daughter/difficult child was adopted at birth; we literally brought her home less than 24 hours after her delivery by birthmom. Prenatal exposure included heroin, cocaine, alcohol, nicotine, and probably more; birthmom in jail at time of delivery so on metadone maintenance. difficult child had quick withdrawal from methadone and was very easy/happy baby. A bit strong-willed in toddlerhood, and anxious as she grew; IQ of 130; a charmer. I just don't know if she'd be classified as Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). At least one therapist we saw for anorexia/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) said she was definitely "attached" but we will likely never know. I just don't understand where this behavior stems from; she was SO loved, attended to, educated, formed in values, part of huge loving family from DAY 1 -- why all the rebellion? She's out of house now, living with boyfriend, working in restaurant, gave up huge college scholarship to pursue "rebellious life." What's your Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)-mom opinion? Thanks.
