Give us an update. Have the attacks stopped or at least lessened?
Over time, if the behavior does not get any better you may have to choose to disrupt the placement......not because of your FD but for your own bio child. Imagine the stress at 15 mo of being the "baby" only to have a violent child your age join the clan......YIKES!
Your FD may have to be placed into a home with only older children that she does not feel threatened by (but will still be jealous of).
Just be sure to not neglect the emotional needs of your own family while trying to meet the emotional needs of your foster children. It is easy to do without even realizing it.
Good Luck and let us know how it's going and what you did to make things better!!
