DFS (6) has been with us for 21mos. Current plan is adoption. He is a therapeutic-level child (for behaviors), but we don't get therapeutic-level support b/c we are with our local DSS and they don't have a therapeutic worker. When we last asked for respite in Oct 2011, they...
Consider it Carefully - Don't Jump Without LOTS of Thought...May 14, 2012, 5:35 pm RAD is hell. Sorry... I have two little razzleberries and the more I try to love them, the worse their behaviors.
