On the one hand I ask myself why I would invite this into my and my family's lives, and on the other hand I think of all those kids out there without a real family. Especially once they hit 18 and are out of the system. I just can't imagine having no family to turn to in times of either trouble or joy; having no one to share a past and future with; being away at school and having no where to go for Christmas holidays.
I would be most concerned about the attachment issues. I know your heart is in the right place, but you need to realize that a child with attachment disorder does not want a family.Its very hard to parent a child who does not want you to be their mom.
