Also should have mentioned that we have a court date for the adoption on 11/27 - having not been through the process before I am not sure if it will the only one of the first of many.....

And S8 has been diagnosed with apraxia which causes him to need some additional help when learning new tasks, skills, etc....

I know that the conventional wisdom on the board is not to assist with D proceedings (not to resist either - just staying as neutral as possible) - any experiences or thoughts around using the same techniques for adoptions?

Arghhhhh......... this really stinks at times!
