So it's not always that the adoptive parent didn't 'feel' like parenting anymore...sometimes there are other reasons. Our son told such stories to every fosterhome he was in and to the many RTC therapist...and he went through many the last two years. He was very charming. In the end, the fosterhomes had their eyes opened, but in the beginning, it was that how could 'we' do this.

What a terrible experience for you. I am sure you contiue to love your son. You are trying to make the best choices for him to heal and grow into a capable, fully-functioning adult.
I hope all the effort you putting into a program for him helps him.
