It's very normal to be concerned about this. All I can say is that it will happen sooner or later, but don't be too hard on yourself. I wanted to be a Mom since I can remember and yet, I really struggled in the beginning, until the revocation period was over, to bond. I felt like a really involved babysitter. The first time I really realized how bonded we were was when she got her 2 month needle and I cried right along with her. I have to say that, although she was in pain, it felt good to know I had those feelings for her. It's been amazing every since how close we are.

DH OTOH, who was equivocal even a little fearful in the beginning at becoming a Dad after all this time, was bonded to her from the minute he saw her come into the world. They are amazing together as well.

It will happen...
