[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had an experience where the adoption did not work? Adoption of siblings took place 10 years ago. At the time DDs were 5 and 6. Fast forward to ages 15 & 16 and the older sibling is making life unbearable and unsafe. She has made it clear that she wants no part of the family. At 11 she declared that she was done with us and the running away began. We have had contact with several doctors, counselors, therapists, and now police but nothing has helped. She has caused significant damage to the home, neighbor's homes and school. She has also become violent with her sibling and me. There is an 80 year old in the household as well and she is terrified. Any suggestions for next steps?[/quote] Any of her problems stem from your attitude that the adoption is not working? By not working you mean she isn’t the dream child you wanted? I really feel for her.[/quote]
