[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 90960, member: 3626"] Terry has given you some good advice. All I can offer are a couple of minor suggestions and lots of HUGS! You're also going to have to find a way to gradually get him to give you a little more space. My daughter was very clingy but it was at a much younger age. I used to tell her I was taking a walk ALONE and leave for 5-10 minutes. I upped the time a little more every day. I don't know if your son will let you do this. He's old enough to insist on going with you and following you. As you know, there are no easy answers for kids who have been adopted at older ages, but you have made tremendous strides. For the singing, the only thing I could suggest is earplugs and an iPod. This was my sanity when my daughter was raging. by the way -- Congrats on surviving the thyroid cancer. Did you have this before or after adopting? It could be a factor in his being so clingy, especially if post-adoption. [/QUOTE]
