I am not faced with such challenges (yet), but trying to inform and educate myself as much as possible being an adoptive parent and trying to correct some possible future challenges/mistakes.
If anyone has read a good book on how to prepare for such things like RAD, or just good parenting the adoptive child (2yrs-toddler), not from birth. I'd appreciate any suggestions rather than going by a preface on a book.
Thank you.

I see no replies to you yet... I posted a list of books in this thread:[url]http://forums.adoption.com/autism/395045-books-asd-attachment-disorder.html[/url]I'd add to that: Building the Bonds of Attachment: Awakening Love in Deeply Troubled Children by Daniel A. Hughes. About a little girl who came into FC at age 5, and chews thru 3 homes before finding a therapeutic mom and therapist team who help her do the hard work to heal. Also describes the SWs role and thinking.There are others in the field, lots online:[url=http://attach.org/]Attachment Disorder information and support at ATTACh.org.[/url] (Dan Hughes' model, Dynamic Dyadic TherapyBrian Post: [url=http://www.postinstitute.com/]Reactive Attachment Disorder & Defiance in Adopted & Foster Kids[/url]Deborah Hage, start with this article: [url=http://www.deborahhage.com/articles/lying.html]Lying and Teaching the Truth - Deborah Hage, MSW[/url]Heather T.

Adds insight to how awful it really is for some children.
