Bonding, attachment, and older siblings
We have three bio-children (boy 9 yrs, girl 6 yrs, and boy 3 1/2 yrs at time of adopted baby's arrival) Our boys probably will show very little interest in our new daughter, but our 6 year old daughter is very excited about our new daughter coming home.
Question: How much should I limit the contact between our bio-daughter and our adopted daughter? Should I not let her hold her? This is a very delicate situation as I do not want our bio-daughter to feel left out while at the same time I will need to foster bonding with our new daughter.
