There are also things about your own family to consider. Lucy covered the questions to ask about the child. So then answer these questions about your family. Do you have other children in the home, if so how old are they? Are you going to be able to be home with him or will you need to find care for him during the day? Do you have a good support system? Do you have access to therapists who specialize in these issues? Have you researched RAD, PTSD, etc?
