Question Sexual Abuse (possible match of sibling group)
I have a question about the effects of sexual abuse on young children. The girls were 6 and 1 at the time. Don't have much more information than that.
The adoption worker sent me the sibling groups profiles today. We were very excited they are exactly what were are looking for. They are 7(F), 2(F), & 1(M). Down side both girls were sexual abused.
We have a five year old daughter. Do you think we should even consider or just bow out now before sending our home study? The profile say the 7 year old acted out at the emergency shelter but doesn't say anything about acting out at the foster home she is in now with two other girls. Siblings are in another home.
Thanks for any info or advice. Not sure if this was the right place to post. If not please redirect me.
