Originally Posted By StarHello, we just adopted our foster son, who is now 16. He came to us at the age of 12 as we were told we couldn't have children. Well, Hannah (5) was born the week after he moved in and Lauren is now 3 1/2. Devin has been trying, but a blessing. He was what he called on the "F" honor roll at school, had been arrested 2 times and a mess. He was 4' tall and wearing mens 36" clothes. He came from an orphanage in MO. With the proper love, attention and restraints, he is now on the A+ program at school, in the Civil Air Patrol, plays football and is a wonderful young man. He came with a lot of labels, "attention deficit dissorder", attachment dissorder, etc. He was on so much medication. He is off all meds and doing great. These kids just need to feel loved and to know they won't be sent back. Devin had lived in orphanages from the age of 4 until he was 12. Good Luck!
