Question about Bonding with older children
Hello,
This is my first post, after reading so many threads full of useful information, I decided to register. I think my question is along the same lines of this thread.
My wife and I are considering adopting a 5 1/2 yr. old boy. We have 2 girls of our own, they're almost four and seven.
Bonding is our primary concern. Will it be possible for us to feel as close to this child as we do to our own? Not having gone through all the joys and pains of the early years, will it be possible to have an equal amount of love for this child? Is there any logical way to decide this or does it have to be a 'gut' feeling?
We would appreciate other parents chiming in on this who have adopted older children.
