" I fear she's just subconsciously found a way of protecting herself, and it seems impossible to pierce."
This may be exactly what is happening. And part of protecting herself is to NOT FEEL. I would bet it is a subconscious thing that her brain is doing as a coping mechanism, because she is at such a young age. It may be impossible to pierce right now, but I am sure with the right therapy and your love and support things will improve over time. She is protecting her heart.
Look at the foster child adoption stories threads and read my poem titled A Former Foster Child, it explains a little of my feelings as a foster child.
