I went to a special needs adoption picnic today and met a boy that I really felt belongs with me.

Most likely never be able to live entirely alone but he will graduate from an alternative high school next year and he wants to be a carpenter. This he can probably achieve with my help.
If we all agree that he should be placed in my home, I really want him to achieve something resembling a healthy adult heterosexual sexuality. At 18 he will need opportunities to learn independence, go to trade school, work and interact with others.
Any comments or advice??? I'm particulary interested in your adult children who were abused. How are they doing? You can also e-mail me at masenoman@netzero.com.
