I have two points to share:
1.) if you are trying to adopt a "special needs child" as a single parent, you should first "mail order" a husband. I could have used one to keep my little one in order. Many special needs children that have been abused and felt their birth Mom did not protect them really have an issue with respecting woman. You will be the brunt of their anger and watch out for the punches!
2.) Sound proof your home. Thank goodness my neighbors know me. The yelling that he did just because I said brush your teeth or go to bed was loud! He also growled under the neighbors window making them wonder if I got a new dog.
In conclusion, MAPP classes in NO WAY gave me any clue what it would be like. A wonderful lady also came to my class with a wonderful fairy tale ending. I was naive and had no clue and sadly I had to disrupt and have no child. Please ask for all of the history and then ask again. Ask to speak to everyone including past foster families.
Dad, thanks for starting this post.
