The thing that gets me about Abeni is that she does seem to attach. After she leaves each home, she only talks about the other home. Asking if they are okay. Once in a while she asks about her "real mama" or her birth mother.
If we are in a store, and she wants to go to another section, she wants me, or her foster mom to accompany her. She gets frightened. When she gets hurt, she'll cry, and ask me to do something. Recently, while skating, a friend fell down, and she explained to the friend "don't worry, my mama will help you, she knows how to make you feel better". She knows that she will be leaving her foster mom's house, and she verifies every once in a while that she will still be able to see and visit her.
she isn't superficially charming, although recently, she has had a habit of flirting with older males...but she's 9, and i've looked at that as pre-puberty.
That doesn't speak of attachment disorder to me. I looked at the website, and very few of issues listed seem like her. Might i see something different if she were not on drugs?
