My fs that we are adopting soon would scream in his room. He slept well in his room till he turned 2, then he was terrified of his room. We would have night light on, then the lamp would stay on, with the hallway light and bathroom light. He would come in our room and we do the no monster talk and walk him back. I stay there till he sleep. About five min later he would come running screaming. He would hold on to the door jam so we could not take him back to his room. Sometimes I would wake up and he would be curled up in a ball on the floor next to my bed. You can tell He was terrified. It broke my heart. Here we also have a no foster child in bed with an adult and they can not sleep in our room once they are 19months. I talked to his sw and she said "let him sleep with you, he will be your son soon", but our agency said nope, even with sw approval. He still has a hard time in his room he is 3 now, but it has gone better. Its just hard to see him this scared and I cant do nothing about it. Once he is adopted and he is this terrified I plan to let him sneak in. I did when I was little with my parents and it made me feel so safe.
