Actually-- the behavior you describe sound exactly like what you can expect from foster kids. And I've known it to be MUCH worse. But I must add- we've adopted three times. A 13 yr old, a 15yr old and an 8 yr old. My teens I've had basically NO problems with- very few snotty remarks- easily redirected- bonding well with us & each other. My 8yr old has RAD and no I didn't know before hand- so she's been a whole different ball game. But even her behaviors are improved. ( I am a bit of a control freak myself so I easily catch her in contolling behaviors.) Think hard- but there are really sweet kids out there. Oh & review attachment disorders carefully so you know what they look like.
