[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 760688, member: 21066"] It seems like I'm always hearing about children adopted from Russia having this problem. From what I understand, those orphanages aren't very nurturing and many children grow up to be numb and lacking compassion. We adopted our son at age 2, but not from Russia because we had read about children from Russia having these problems. There are a lot of problems with Russian orphanages. It doesn't surprise me he was diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder. These children are failed by the system and environment in which they have been in. Many adoptive parents go through this. I don't have any advice other than to try to take care of yourself and don't blame yourself for something you didn't cause. Clearly, the system fails these children. [/QUOTE]
