First to you Sinsull...........We are adoptive parents and fostered for nine years with over 25 kids......I know of what you speak intimately. I have done training on "Attachment Disorder" which is finally being recognized and very much the situation you describe. My best to you and your son. Its a long, hard road that has no end. That's a cruel thing to say, but I say it with the absolute best wishes and love that I can for your family. You may not want to hear it (I never do), but it takes a special person(s) to do what you have done and feel free to talk through it anytime with me or us....You most certainly are among friends.

Peter.....Its also a good thought for me today as I am saddened about not being in Toronto this weekend. But I will be there, even if I'm not. BTW, the Heron showed up here last night and is going south with us this week. He sends his love.
