Fact:
The AdoptOHIO website recognizes Reactive
Attachment Disorder (RAD) which is evident in various listings for children
who are available for adoption. Some listings make reference to RAD, attachment
disorder and attachment issues. The State of Ohio should also recognize
that a symptom of attachment disorder is making false allegations.

Fact:
As foster parents, we give our children hope. We have formed a bond or attachment with our children and helped them achieve things they never thought were possible. Once an allegation is made, they are ripped from our homes to endure yet another loss in their lives. It is the thinking of many child care workers children will bounce right back from trauma. This is not true. Documented research done by Dr. Bruce Perry, who is an expert in child trauma, disputes this theory.
Fact:
Attachment disorder is not the only disorder
that has the likelihood of a false allegation being made.

Fact:
When an individual becomes a social worker,
they do not need to have a degree in social work. Their degree may be
in any subject, while in Ohio they have 5 years to earn the degree in
social work. The worker who may see problems in your home, who may not
agree with your style of parenting and who may be investigating your case,
might be the same worker who has not earned a degree in social work, who
is under-trained and has no life experiences as a parent.
Fact:
These children have been "damaged" before entering
our homes. Picture a young girl standing at the doorway to a home, the
foster parent's home. She is standing there with 2 huge suitcases, one
in each hand. These bags contain everything she owns, the trauma from
the abuse and neglect she has suffered in her life. It wasn't the foster/adoptive
parents who packed these bags, yet it is them who will be held accountable
when these bags are opened.
