As a single man, my questions probably would be different than most others. For one, would the agency/worker even consider a single man?

Once I got past that, I would wonder about sexual acting out...what types, is he likely to in the future. As I understand things, I might not know this until after he's in the home....either because of cw/sw witholding or because they just don't know.

The crack thing worries me, too. Isn't there a drug version of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome with the same problems?

By itself, I could handle the ADHD. I've dealt with kids who've had that and kids that had minor oppositional issues (didn't seem so at the time, but now maybe minor).

The only PTSD I have any experience with is my dad's resulting from the Vietnam War. I'm betting it's different for this kid.

All that said, after doing some reading, you know what you can handle. Not trying to offend, but I'd do some praying with my studying. Go with what you receive from either.
