Residential Treatment
We were told a couple of weeks ago that we were in the top 3 families for a child, but they decided to wait a month and reselect. He's in a children's home that is reorganizing, and I guess at first they were going to try to place him instead of move him, but then they decided not to rush a placement just because they were reorganizing. We've been waiting for 7 months for a match so we were very disappointed to come so close and then have it postponed. I've been reading the posts here, and now I'm a little concerned that they are planning to move him straight out of residential treatment into an adoptive placement. It sounds like most of you believe children should be moved into a theraputic foster home first. Maybe that's what they did. I don't know. Anyway until I read your posts about that I thought the situation sounded great because he was just removed from his home last summer, had a brief placement with a family member, and then moved into residential because he was acting out. So to my thinking he hadn't been moved much so that was a good thing. Now I'm not so sure. By the way he's 8-1/2 and I have a 9-3/4 bio-son. Any thoughts?
