Thanks Sharon, for that informative post.

As to older child adoption, I've read years of posts on this forum...websites detail Attachment Disorders and ODD and I'll probably buy some books later on.

I've experience with an ODD child. I helped his mother (whom I rented a room from) work with the boy for over two years. I've also some experience dealing with sexually abused kids.

So, I simply wish you to know that I'm not going into this with blinders on. I'll continue doing research as I narrow my options. I'll probably go with adopting from the foster system, as the language thing won't be a barrier (unless there's developmental problems, of course).

I simply put my query here to have options.
