From a discussion on a previous thread, the issue of firesettig came up. I have some experience on the subject, and would much appreciate all of your thoughts on adopting a child who has actually set a fire (not just played with matches). It does, in fact, happen all the time. Safety and crisis plans can be designed to reduce risk and also enhance trust, and a relationship that is only as attached as the child can safely accept.

The trouble is, these children are routinely disenfranchised from adoption because of what they once were compelled to do.

Social workers are the worst culprets in not placing these children ever again. Your thoughts are appreciated.
