I have been contacted about a few disruption. A few of the children had age approprate problems that the parents could not deal with. Sometimes it is the child's behavior but other times it is the parent's expectation that are the issue. Be sure you find out not only the child's past but exactly what the issues are now.
Good luck and Congratulations.
