Navy Wife,
The best book I've ever read (and I've read a lot) for managing adopted kids is called, "The Connected Child" and can be found at your local bookstore. It gives very practical advice and specific senarios and how best to handle them. Disciplining an adopted child, especially one who may have impairments and who has been severely abused or neglected, is much much different than disciplining a biological child who has always felt connected to his/her family. This book explains why and how to best connect with your adopted or foster child and how to reteach proper bonding and basic social skills. Anyway, I highly recommend it. Good luck to you!
