I am also curious how this has turned out. About 6 weeks ago we submitted an interest on an 11 year old girl who's diagnosis was listed as Mild for Emotional and Mild for developmental. There was nothing in her profile to make you aware that there were some issues. Well, I've talked to her case worker twice now and have learned that she has been diagnosed with RAD, she has been in the system since she was 4 years old. Prior to that, she was locked in a room for 14 hours a day and also abused. She does lie and steals things. The child's CW told my CW that she is a moderate level of care. She yells a lot. She is currently in an emergency shelter since the last foster home wanted her removed due to the lieing and stealing. I do not know how long she has been there. She is seeing a "temp" therapist (?) that syas the child is unadoptable and will ruin any family she goes into. My CW had requested additional reports on the child so that we can learn more about her.
I am a little hesitant as we are first time adoptive parents (we have a 14 year old bio daughter at home). However, I do feel that this child has had a bad life and deserves a chance. Therefore, i am really interested on how the previous case turned out.
