I was concerned about this too, secretly, I wouldn't admit it to anyone. I am a teacher and I knew I could love an adopted baby because I love 25 kids every year. But I didn't know if I would really have that mother bonded connection. But, I will say the moment, and yes for me it was a moment, the moment I laid eyes on him, I was in love. We were in the delivery room and I even got to cut the cord, so I think that might have helped. We got to know the bmom in the months prior to delivery and I think that helped as well. DH and I still say (and ds is almost 4 years old now) that we never imagined we could love someone so much. It is undescribable. I've had friends have biological children and have had trouble bonding. So, I think it depends on the people involved and the situation.
Good luck to you on your journey.
