thanks dawn for your experience and responding so quickly.

We truly dont know what to do. This kid has attached to us. though he does have attachment issues, he clearly has attached.

on christmas, all he wanted to bring back to the RTC was the presents we gave him and not the ones that santa gave him. Santa gave him all the fun ones....

He is so sensitive, and his self-estemm is shot. The problem is that we love him.

The therapist keeps asking us if he want him back, but we dont know. I am trying my hardest not to think with my heart, but i can imagine life without this child in it. Oh, his younger brother is with us also which puts more of a spin on things.

his younger brother misses him alot also. Its just so scary. I told them, we will keep doing what were doing, visiting him everyday, taking him home for visits, and see how this all plays out. We dont expect a miracle, but just for him to handle his anger better. he has alot to be angry about, the poor little guy.
