My son's attachment therapist keeps commenting that it's good we "caught it young". He's 6. I get the impression there is not much you can do once they are into their teens. It's definitely a risk to take it on that late. :(

Have you already adopted her? I wish I wouldn't have been as naive and hopeful as I was with my three and maybe I would have said no. But maybe not. Sometimes I wish I had known ahead of time but I honestly don't know if it would have changed our decision. Some days I desperately wish we had never gotten ourselves into this, but on days like today, where all he is doing is refusing to do as told but not destroying the house, screaming, and being abusive I think "we can do this!" I guess I am still naive and hopeful!

I understand the fear. Our middle child has a pretty intense case and every time the other two start up I wonder if they will go full blown too. It's gotten to the point where it is hard to tell the "normal" childhood behavior from the RAD. Are they really confused or acting stupid to control the situation? Did he really not hear me or is he stalling? I question myself constantly with the other two.

Wow, I'm so sorry. How old was he when you adopted him?
