My heart really breaks for all involved, and for your sister, who thought that that was her only option back then. Her story is not a rare case, which is also very sad. <br />At her age, I am not sure what you can do for her, but here as some resources you can look towards: <br /> Read this: http://fosterparentrescue.blogspot.com/2013/03/advocating-for-your-kids-national-legal.html <br />It sounds like perhaps there is more than just RAD going on here, so without all the details its hard for me to help, but start there, and see what the evaluation comes up with. I would get involved as much as you can with the facility where she is housed, try to get her perhaps in adult foster care where she can be monitored and cared for... it sounds like there may be enough mental issues that she should qualify for some kind of monitored live in care.<br />GypsyDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068955479131509850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872575145321897807.post-58382541638991653722014-06-27T13:57:03.435-05:002014-06-27T13:57:03.435-05:00My sister has had a deaf child with RAD since age ...My sister has had a deaf child with RAD since age three and basically since it was a private adoption and they are public servants a teacher and a policeman they could not give her back. She has been basically locked in a room at home for years , she did attend school but would not do the work. She turned 18 in Feb, they waited until June when she was out of school and then were going to put her in a homeless shelter. I have placed her in low income housing close to me that she can afford on SSI but I don't know how best to help her. They have her taking Hadol which is an anti physcotic but I am waiting to have her re- evaluated. She seems to be doing well. Is there help I should be seeking for her now.
