[quote=Anonymous]I am one of the PP. Another thing I would add is that I think if you do adopt any child that is not an infant, then you should make therapy an integral part of your childhood routine in order to surface and address any trauma or attachment issues. In our case, we had a DC (with FAS) whose struggles were so significant that we focused on that instead of on DC's sibling, who seemed to be adjusting so much better and had no interest in therapy. However, now that child is a young adult, I see behavioral patterns in relationships with friends, significant others, and with us that reflect unresolved trauma and attachment issues, but I no longer have the ability to require therapy the way I could have if we had addressed it earlier. I regret missing that opportunity.[/quote]
