Adoption Disruption Unfolding

I feel really sorry for this family. Although this is an international adoption, I believe it could have happened -- and does happen fairly often -- with traumatized sibling groups adopted from foster care. Training and support help. But they're not magic shields.

I don't believe in saying "I won't judge". The word "judge" can mean many different things to different people... too often, I think it means a lack of critical analysis. For example, it's really sad for me to hear that the boy did not get therapy for so long because no one spoke his language. This is a problem, and it's connected to institutional issues, and more people need to be aware of it.

But I'm not going to "judge" in the sense of weighing moral worth. It sounds like the family is trying to do their best to keep their other children safe, while living up to their responsibility to their son.

I left some general advice, and I hope anyone else with any good advice or resources could leave a comment as well.
