Joey has had problems dealing with the usual grief issues all adopted children deal with. I've been lucky in finding him counseling through an adoption agency. I have found that most therapists are not familiar with adoption issues and the behaviors of children adopted out of foster care. Our families have accepted Joey and take real pleasure in spending time with him. He still needs to be reassured that someone will always be there to take care of him.
