That's Great if they were so long ago, but keep in mind, a move and disruption causes backsliding in his behaviors, and he will likely regress upon placement in your family.

If he has gotten better, then he likely will again, but look at his worst behaviors and ask yourself "how long could we deal with them"...if it took 3 years for him to "normalize" then it would likely take at least 1-3 years in your home to get back to the point he is at now if you are as successful in dealing with them as his current placement has been.
