... know my first posting wasn't meant to be unsupportive and if it were to have read that way - it was not intended to do so - as another poster has stated many of us here have or have had placements from similar situations and have lots of wisdom, advice, and caring to share! My RED FLAGS notations were, as I believe I stated, not to scare you away from this child but to encourage you to proceed with getting all the information - many times our hearts overrule the common sense that we wish we had listed to after the fact - these placements can be successful if you enter them with eyes wide open and all areas covered - especially with regard to other children, family members or even pets that can be affected.

Do keep posting, we are here for you - and will be through it all ...
