Please help!
Maybe I am just needing to get out my frustration or my anxiety, but I am really having a hard time. My husband and I are foster parents and have been for over a year now. We have a little boy who we finalized the adoption on not all that long ago. He and I bonded immediately and have a great mother/son relationship. However, we now have another foster child that is 7 months old. He is so beautiful and a real special child. However, I am having a very hard time bonding with him. He took real well with my husband and really wants nothing to do with me. He won't allow me to pick him up without crying, if I pick him up from daycare and my husband doesn't get home for a while he will cry until he does. Which has made bonding with him very difficult. I have attempted to play and hold him, sing to him, read to him, but to no avil he wants nothing to do with me. I feel like a total failure and feel as though I am doing something wrong. Any suggestions? Has anyone else been through this? Please Help, all I want to do is help this child.
