I...I too believe there is hope for these children. I became a foster parent to a 4 year old RAD child and "entering the pit of hell" is truly the best description of our early years. Because of the incredible help we received, not only did this child grow up to become a responsible adult, but I also learned a great deal about myself along the way. It wasn't very pretty but we survived and thrived. I adopted her when she was 12 and now she is 23, living on her own & employed. Thanks for spreading the word about RAD.

He knows of your love and strength through your faith and though times will be difficult, you know he is always with you, guiding and supporting. Time is what you need and the support of mental health and medical professionals and your personal clergy. In the end, these children will grow stronger and healthier because you and your husband have the patience and heart to help and shape them. I wish for G-d' continuing light and guidance as you go forward in this journey.sewwhatsportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822577412184162714noreply@blogger.com
