[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you say the older one only has SN issues that you can handle. But I guarantee you, the child will have some sort of attachment issues. Read up on attachment before you take any further steps in the process. Signed, Someone who's been dealing with this for 3 years and probably would have lost my mind without a supportive spouse[/quote] I have. It's hard to say what degree of attachment or attachment issues any adopted child will have. I've read about attachment theory and ways to help fix attachment issues. I also looked up attachment therapists in my area. I think the stereotype that all older adopted children will have RAD is inaccurate and tends to make people fear adopting older children. [/quote]
