Group Home Placement - Military

I have recently been assigned to Vancouver Washington.  I requested the Reassignment because my Wife and I, along with our daughter’s biological father felt it would be best for her.  We felt that placing her here in Washington where there are family members would be good for when I get reassigned again.  We are in the early stages of having her placed into a group home.  Bryn is one of our six children.  Her twin sister is also autistic but is high functioning.  Bryn on the other hand is severely autistic.  They will be 15 on Saturday.  It is hard to believe.  I have been an active part of their lives for 12 of those years.  They are my girls J

Because of her continual aggressive behavior, even with medication, we have been told by both her physician and psychologist that it would be in Bryn’s best interest and the family’s if we pursue placement in a group home.  This has been a decision we have put off for some time.  We have discussed this continually with her natural father and his wife and have asked them to help us out.
