Im with Lucyjoy, I would procede under the circumstance the child does have RAD. They don't just hand that diagnosis out easily, as they know that once you label a child RAD it becomes much harder to place them for adoption.
There are some parents on here where they were matched with a child not labeled RAD and it took a honeymoon period of a year before they really started to see the behaviors.
I would definitely talk to the current foster mom and ask a lot of questions (ie. type of therapy child is getting, what do they consider bonded, what DR diagnosed him, talk to that DR is possible, what was his early childhood like, was he ever attached to his biomom). There are a lot of wonderful adoptive moms on here that have RAD children, maybe they can give you a bunch of questions to ask for full disclosure. That may prove to be more helpful than trying to prove a diagnosis wrong.
Good luck!!
