Consider it an extensive private rehab program for kids damaged by fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS and the invisible FAE) and RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder)

Lets imagine the damage to a kid born to an alcoholic or drug abuser, dumped into a Russian hospital then a baby house

Left in a crib with virtually no human contact and no normal sensory stiumlation, visual, auditory tactile - then adopted as a cute litle bundle or an adorable toddler or child - who has NEVER developed a bond to trust or love another human being (but depending on their age, they sure can put on a good front of smiling and hugging “mama and papa” for their own survival- until the other feral instincts take over and they despise “mama and papa” who they can never trust)

these adorable children are taken to the US by unsuspecting parents who think love and good food can cure everything - the “Mother Teresa” syndrome especially among childless couples and women, and missionary types

This “ranch” is a rehab program and respite for parents who have tried everything but their child needs 24/7 care and therapy because they have or soon will destroy the family

Maybe eventually they will be able to come live in a normal family, but maybe, never

These are not parents who are abandoning the kids or disrupting their adoption, they are getting inpatient therapy for their kids

Read up on RAD and FAS, read what some parents live with to try to parent these kids

Then try it yourself for oh, a couple of years at least

Then judge
