Hi Sue - unfortunately, no, we had not help with the monetary aspects of the healing process from any agency. I was able to make our insurance company pay $30 per session for twenty visits per year for our attachment therapy - no small feat lol.

We have one of those network provider types of insurance. At that time, I had learned enough about attachment disorder to start interviewing therapists to see if they could help my son. I called every therapist on their list - over 140 - talked to each one personally and proved to the insurance company that they had no one who was capable of effectively helping my son. I had to wrangle with a PhD who headed up their mental health division. He told me that Nik was too damaged to even try to help - proved him wrong, lol.

Tim O'Hanlon of Adoption Advocates may be kind enough to answer some of your questions regarding funding of treatment - tohanlon@columbus.rr.com http://www.fpsol.com/adoption/whoadv.html

Adoption Advocates help out families in Ohio but Tim has answered questions for me before regarding this issue.

If you would like, I can email you some contacts in your area that may be able to help you.

Nancy G.
