Bonding & Attachment

I'm happy to report that we've come to the point in our adoption journey to begin thinking about bonding and attachment. From what I've learned, it's not much different than bonding with a biological child, except for the obvious fact that it's not happening at birth (at least not for us). Because of this, some things we do, or requests we have, may seem strange. For this reason, I wanted to share some information with our family and friends, to help you all understand the differences and know why we're doing what we're doing. I have been searching the internet for helpful resources, and stumbled across this page from Adoptive Parents magazine. I will also attach the link on our side bar for easy access in the future. (In case you're wondering, this does not mean we have "news")

it is different and there are some things we may do as adoptive parent's that may seem strange... it's all in the name of "bonding & attachment". Hope ya don't mind me posting the same on my blog ;) AND, I have lots of links on bonding. I will PM them to you. I hope Kai is home and in your arms very soon!!
