mischelle i adoped my son when he was 6 1/2 yrs old he was diagnosed with RAD at that time. it took him a year before he could say i love you now he says it every 5 min no joke. he shows all the signs with stealing, lieing, destructive, opostitianal ect. but there is hope he has made huge strides in trying to overcome. he recognizes, though the feeling may not be there yet, the problems and is consiously makeing effort to overcome. our church also has given him unconditional love support . he has a positive future. believe in your kids and be willing to go the long hall. i agree with the no other children we wanted to adopt another child but decided it was best for our son to have the one on one attention. he hardly ever acts up at home now only when he is away at school i often need to go spend the day with him, just be their for him. he rarly now acts up in sunday school as well. give your kids as much positive unconditional love as you can. and find someone to talk out your feelings with and to pray with you. These kids are miricals in the works. dont give up on them. thanks for listening a mom with no regrets of giving an unadoptable child a chance. i love my boy 4/24/2009
Patricia Blight I woul like to find Conselors in the Phoenix/ Mesa, Az. area that specialize in RAD. My 13 yr.old step-son has been seeing a counselor in Fla. for this, and he will be living with us permently shortly, and I would like to continue his counseling. Thank You 7/5/2008
