Jess, What a difficult exerience for this little babe. Being so premature is hard in and of itself; those babies need extra support due to the lengthy hospital stay with various caregivers. Linny and McKenna are right. This babe can benefit (like all babes) from attachment parenting; there is a lot of information out there about things you can do with any baby to enable them to be confident, secure and happy (not always of course.) Wearing her and co-sleeping might interest you.

The really great news is that she is still very young. Young children adopted internationally often have had a very similar experience and do great once they arrive home and are given constant one to one attention by their families. I wish you both tons of luck and happiness.
