We adopted a sibling set DD was 8 and DS was 5. It was hard and still is but worth every moment of grief we experience. My son has attachment issues that are pretty apparent and I am not sure if he is capable of healthy attachements (FAS, PTSD, Clynical depression) but we are working with him...only time will tell. I have never regretted the adoption. I love these children so. It took three months for the SW to get serious. I would get the name of the childs SW and agency and call the director of that agency. That's what I did and I had the ball rolling in a week or so....sounds like the worker is too busy and overloaded or maybe your worker is not "on top of it" Keep bugging her but find out who the adoption worker is and contact them yourself. JMHO

I cant agree more. I think sometimes we actually find the forums to get the support we need around some of our kids issues and therefore when someone is reading this stuff, get scared.

but when its all said and done....with all the hard work we have done....do we really regret that we adopted them?....

in our case NO!!!!!!!!!

my boys are so wonderful and special, and yes, they are not easy to parent, but they do make me a better person, more patient, more understanding and more accepting among other things.

my boys have really given me so much. I cant even imagine my life without them now.
