Our son is 8 (8 and a half he says); the new boy is 10. No infants (that would require an act of God at this point). Yes boys only; and yes, reported incidents involved his little sister everytime (that we know about). I just received an email from our worker and she asked for questions and concerns regarding our decision. I asked for her opinions on his "sexual inappriateness"; he lives in a foster home with other children now--I asked how old and boys or girls? And, any "incidents" in that home? I guess I want to know---Can this child be saved? My friend has never abused anyone; my husband (abused by a sitter when he was seven) never abused anyone---can it be stopped? Or am I too "head in the clouds" hopeful? I have read all the responses here--I am very protective of our 8 year old--It would be devastating if this adoption was not the best and happiest thing in the world for him. We know it comes down to weighing all facts, opinions, and what ifs---its the what ifs . . .
