Just read this excerpt from Reddit and be grateful this will never be you:
"My wife and I adopted 4 brothers 10 years ago (then ages 5-12) and it has been a seemingly everlasting graduate course in mental health, special education, children's rights and laws, restraint (physical and mental) and disaster recovery.
...So as an adoptive parent how would you respond to:
- A nine year old chasing his 16 year old brother with a 14" kitchen knife in his hands because he stole his younger brothers food?
- An out of control 8 year old who when you call the local emergency psych team, who sends out a eval officer who after 15 minutes of interaction the officer runs out of the house screaming "there is nothing I can do here"?
- A 6 year old who goes into great detail about what having sex is and states that he water his parents have sex in the shelter?
- When you figure out one of the kids is injuring the pets?
- You realize that the dog has a sudden fascination and desire to lick penises?
- How do you deal with the bottles of urine in the kids bedroom after they tell you "bad things happen to People who go to the bathroom at night"?
- After finding an eight year old with his penis in his 7 year old brothers butt?
- Being sucker punched by a 180 lb (12 stone) 14 year old who does not want to do chores?
- With a kid who is into deep cutting?
- What do you do with a 16 year old who still sucks his thumb and wets his bed?
- A kid who cannot go into any store without stealing at least one item?
- Roaches and mice overrunning a kids bedroom because the kid stores food in a cutout in his mattress?
- Feces art on the walls
- Urine smell below every window of the kids rooms
- Urine stench in the kids bathroom, due to peeing in the sink, bath tub & floor because they will not flush anthers poop and it stinks when you pee on poop.
- Walking in on a 16 year old having sex with a 13 year old leaving the 13 year old's friend in the 11 year old's room with the instruction " talk dirty to the 11 year old, he likes that"
- Having to lock all rooms and closets that the kids do not require access to
- Finding video of your 15 year old masturbating on his iTouch & the net
I'll stop now, you get the point"
