They looked really good and we were considering them as well. Have you gone to the CABF website for lists of RTCs? They have great resources. <br /><br />You are right to be selective about where you send your son. We wouldn't send our dd to anywhere but a place that was top notch. There is one here in our town but it has a horrible reputation, so we traveled half way across the country for Meridell.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386058494236428900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-44510046812782772742010-05-26T12:03:17.792-04:002010-05-26T12:03:17.792-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633592029887704502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-77203822072024087182010-05-26T12:01:04.484-04:002010-05-26T12:01:04.484-04:00Megan-

We are waiting for a bed as well at Inner Harbor, Ga but they said almost a month. His doctor does not want him to come home right now but we need a placement asap. Do you know of anything we could look at. It is so scary to think of him in a place that is not safe or very helpful and there are so many stores of abuse and harsh discipline. Feeling so overwhelmed right now. Anyone out there with any recommendations would be so welcome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-56466690571359509232010-05-25T20:18:07.783-04:002010-05-25T20:18:07.783-04:00This finding friends and getting along with others...This finding friends and getting along with others was such a trial with Beth when she was young. It still is.<br /><br />I kept her where she was figuring that she had to learn to cope. wherever you go there you are was my motto. <br /><br />She suffered more than I knew. If I had to do it over again I would move her to a smaller school and a church with more youth activities. <br /><br />I am sure that reasonable people will disagree on this issue. Good luck in whatever you do. I know that your heart is in the right place.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04382717273926292379noreply@blogger.com
