Actually he was the first child ever adopted out of either of any of the orphanages he was in. In fact the two directors I spoke to were having a hard time because this was so new to them. He was in places for kids with severe special needs and they had never thought of looking for adoptive homes for them since most people want healthy kids to adopt.
As for the food thing, no other consequence has worked. This only is working for now because he actually eats in school because he cares about how he appears to the other kids and teachers there. He will also hide food there, but they know to watch for it. He won't flat our refuse to eat at school or throw up at school. This morning though we are back to refusing to eat. So I may need to come up with another consequence. I have yet to find one that actually works.
