Anyone with experience please respond. We have been combing over psychologist reports and school records of a potential placement. In addition we have been doing alot of reading regarding adopting older children and some of the unique challenges their new families face. I hope I am reading too much into it but I have noticed some little things that caught my eye. There is a diagnosis of ADHD and impulsivity.
*The child has a tendency to break toys and possessions(removing wheels from cars and trucks)
*He has been known to urinate in his room. (our info is that this was rare and hasn't happened recently
*He has temper tantrums at times
*Reported aggression amongst siblings
FM reports he has bonded with her, doing things with her and her husband. He reportedly has a great report with his play therapist and looks forward to her visits. He reports missing his siblings.
I think I need to stop researching so much...Anyone with experience please share your thoughts.... We are scheduled to meet him soon...Anything we should look for ? Wouldn't a diagnosis of attachment problems show up on evaluations or no? My head is spinning.
