If you are going ahead with this 11 year old, read all you can about attachment disorder. I'd also read the special needs and disrupted adoptions boards on this site.
Dandelion on My Pillow, Butcher knife Beneath by Nancy Thomas and Can This Child Be Saved by Foster Cline are must reads before taking children who are already considered unadoptable.

Thanks for the information. I'll get those books ASAP.
