[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 340983, member: 1169"] Post-Adoption is woefully underfunded and is more for adoptive parents of PCs or adoptive parents that have difficulty advocating for their children. They can help get a child started in therapy, get them an initial appointment with a psychiatrist, set up a 4hour respite break once a month; the basic stuff that is easy to get. The clinical division can get Residential Treatment Center (RTC) funding in 30-day chunks for a max of 6 months (or a year at the highest level) but even I (great warrior mom!) needed an advocate to get them off their collective booties to process our request for this service. (It is well hidden and you must threaten to disrupt the adoption to get to this level - I never would have made that threat if the advocate hadn't clued me in to how their game worked.) I do want to write a book or advocate for parents like us, the biggest problem is, who would believe our lives if they weren't living them? :sad: [/QUOTE]
