we are foster parents who are planning on adopting our foster son. He has been here a year and termination date is set for december. Last time in court i about died laughing when the laywer stated " This is a good looking, highly adoptable baby"

Well good looking doesn't make up for the never sleeping through the night at 28 months. It's been a year since I have slept longer than two hours at a time.

How about tantrums that last four hours just for him to pass out from exaustion sleep for about thirty mins and wake up and tantrum again.

Take him to the ER for breathing trouble and because he is sick and doesn't feel well when you leave him with dad to fill out the paper work he tantrums in the middle of the floor and you get asked by the intake worker "is he okay with that Man"

Nap times are a No No, if we are home with mommy and daddy we will climb out of our crib, tear apart our room, and scream for hours. If anyone else goes right to sleep.

Loves to tear apart the refridgerator and cabniets, all have locks now that my husband curses in the middle of the night when he tries to get a drink in the dark

How about running full force at a closed sliding glass door or our first concusion at 19 months from jumping off the couch trying to land on our rocking horse, to have the doctor tell you she thinks he is going to be one that has to learn the hard way.

And when we took placement of this baby at 17 months old we were told he has occasional tantrums. UHHHH HUH.
