how do you plan to help your 7 yo deal with everything? when we fostered then adopted A she was 5 and bio dd was 4 turning 5 in a few months. she has definately been hit the hardest. at first she shared everything since the kids came with only the clothes they were wearing. then she went to resenting it/her. now i have gone so far as to have everything separate for them - even separated bedrooms, classrooms, friends. they do play well together most of the time, but other times watch out. K is always telling on A. A has come a long way since she came to live with us, but still has a long way to go and its been 2 1/2 yrs. i find myself doing extra stuff for/with K to make up for the turmoil she has been through. its just hard when someone comes into the family and demands all the attention and we gave it to her so we could get some better behaviors. we have actually bonded faster with her brother who was the shy reserved one. he is easier to love because he is not always causing trouble and demanding attention. keep us updated. probably alot of the behaviors will go away after all the house hopping stops. that is really hard on the little ones. a stable home will mean a lot.
