I know the journey you are on....
Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum but I had to respond and ditto that this little guy definately has attachment issues that need to be dealt with. We took on our daughter at 5 1/2 and just finished the adoption 5 mos ago. We were aware of her RAD but things started coming together when we started going to an experienced Attachment Therapist. If you ever have a chance to attend a Nancy Thomas seminar, I would do what ever I could to get there!!! It has breathed hope into my life on a practical level. Our kids can heal it just takes time. We are not parenting "normal" kids but I believe the blessings can be more rewarding for us in the end! Take care and hang in there!!
