... this thread is 10 yrs old, so the son in question is now 28. ..
I hope they get the email of the replies and come back and tell how it all turned out (hopefully good).
When I got the email replies I was like 'why did I get this?', but then I realized I'd posted a reply on this thread ten years ago, apparently right before my now-daughter was placed with me.
Now mine is an older teen (17), the 10 yrs went so fast and yet that all seems so very long ago (contradictory, but that is how it feels).
