P.S. Husband and I agreed tonight that we're going to ask that our Letter of Intent (to adopt these 3) be removed from their file. We really are not prepared (mentally and physically) to parent such emotionally battered children. I just hope and pray that their adoptive family is warned ahead of time and given all of the resources they need to get them healthy! All the love in the world will not heal these children without effective therapy.
And to Kamamsm: Just wanted to back you up here. I've never heard of the water thing, but I have read about how dangerous RAD kids' rages can be--to themselves and others (just read of a mom whose nose was broken by a toddler!). If that's what it takes to snap them back to reality, and a therapist agrees, then that's what it takes.
To everyone else, before you start accusing a parent of abuse, walk a mile in her shoes!
