Julie, it's great you are researching things so thoroughly.
I just wanted to chime in to remind you that not all older children in foster care have RAD.
While it's always good to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised if things are better than expected...just remember to keep in your mind, at all times, what you can handle and what you cannot, or are not willing, to handle.
My 10 and 11 year old were in the system 3 years...we've had them almost a year already...no RAD.
Best of luck!

This is intimidating. We're currently waiting for the file of a boy, just turned six, with other special needs besides his age. We're expecting attachment problems as he's spent a long time in an orphanage. If he does have RAD- is there really no chance of recovery by the age of 7?
Thanks-
Julie
