We adopted my now 7 year old in November. He was six then and turned seven in May. He has had some issues, but not major ones. We have not been in counseling. (we did consider it, but found nothing closer than a three hour drive) So we decided to give it a shot on our own and guess what? Most of his bahaviors are gone. His biggest issue was food, but he is eating normally now. I still watch it carefully and if we have a major change in schedule he will stop eating for a meal or two, but mostly he is doing very well. His other behaviors are also better. He will make eye contact with me and let me hug him. He has quit trying triangulation between me and dh, though we will see how he handles the new teacher in the fall, it helps that it just happens he is getting an old friend of mine for a teacher! We are still watching and don't consider him cured or quite normally attached yet, but he has come so far from a kid whom I will swear hated me for the first week or two.
