would you adopt?
As we consider a child for possible placement for adoption I am interested in what others consider the red flags that would make you really think twice. We are currently considering a preteen boy who has a history of being sexually molested by an older neighborhood child starting when he was four. It is unclear how long it lasted. Mom was addicted to crack when he was born. He is PTSD, ADHD. However, also a very smart kid, very athletic, has difficulty making attachments with peers. Neglect in the home, no known physical abuse. Thoughts?
Thanks.
