Attachment Issues are common
I think it is especially helpful to fully understand that attachment issues are very common in adoptive and foster children over the age of 2 years old. RAD is at the far end of the spectrum, but all children in this arena have experienced some sort of trauma otherwise they wouldn't be available for adoption or fostercare.
I think that the more informed you are about Attachment Disorder and the attachment and bonding process the better prepared you will be for whatever you face. It is only when you put on blinders and don't prepare yourself with information that you get in over your head. Even with preparation the broad spectrum of the disorder and the potential parents ability to handle things are still individual.
Hope this helps.
