Great post Elizabeth. As someone who had a very smooth transition/attachment process with my first adoption, I completely realize how rare that is. Now, as we are preparing to bring his 5 year-old birth brother into our family, I am not taking for granted that it will be the same. No. Not at all.
Thank you…I adore this post. We’ve been home 2.5 months with our son, and we are not yet where I want us to be. But I have hope that I will be pleasantly surprised one of these days! 🙂
Thank you for posting this. It took me a year to realize the full potential of love and connection with my adopted daughter (home 4 years this week). When I finally found the courage to talk about it two years later, I was told how awful I was for not being instantly connected. I think what we both experienced is normal and I hope the adoption community will speak up and say so. It’s important for PAP to realize that this experience is in fact, normal.
