The point here was that correct assessments of childhood problems are needed, not a focus on what either adoptive or birth parents did wrong.Jean Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619393019771381980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743746633913926150.post-56415986949799267122016-12-12T21:43:14.893-05:002016-12-12T21:43:14.893-05:00Your remarks are rooted in dangerous miscalculatio...Your remarks are rooted in dangerous miscalculation of the parent's intention and response of a child's preexisting volatile characteristics following his or her post-institutionalization adjustment. Whatever ones calls it, a high incidence of psychological and neurological conditions are present when many of these children are adopted. The adoptive parents are far too often blamed for FAD and FAS due to the birth mother, as well as executive function delays. It is much more serious that labeling their preexisting conditions, as RAD or stereotyping and blaming adoptive parents, based on presumption. One need only walk in the shoes of discrimination to understand its vile inequity for facing the hardship of trying to parent and help a child in post-institutionalized crisis. loving dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462121701146489663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743746633913926150.post-36851433638463650952014-03-27T01:36:19.032-04:002014-03-27T01:36:19.032-04:00Hi, i think that i saw you visited my website thus...Hi, i think that i saw you visited my website thus i came to “return the favor”.I'm trying to find things to enhance my website!I suppose its ok to <br />use a few of your ideas!!<br /><br />Also visit my web page: <a href="http://www.goji-malina.blogspot.ru" rel="nofollow">растениеводство</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743746633913926150.post-47600948138285413582011-08-31T19:14:46.611-04:002011-08-31T19:14:46.611-04:00"It’s time to stop the repetition of this sce..."It’s time to stop the repetition of this scenario, with its tendency not only to do injustice, but to spread disinformation and encourage mistreatment of adopted children."<br /><br />Yes! Yes! Yes!<br /><br />It seems like all a parent has to do is say their kid has RAD and they think they have a free pass to treat their kids any way they want.

If ever there was a case for the Daubert standard, this is it. We can keep trying, though, to dispel them. Here is my contribution, which includes a table from a recent publication that demonstrates the difference between the legitimate DSM definition of RAD and the misunderstood one.<br /><br />http://wp.me/pRMnH-pOMonica Pignottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096661553832690178noreply@blogger.com
