I won't kid you, bonding and attaching is HARD work. It's an ongoing process.

My son was nearly 3 when I brought him home. We have very mild attachment problems, mostly about control for him. But, he's very loving to me, our family, our pets.

I have a friend who adopted a much younger child, I belive he was under a year old, he's 6 now and they still have alot of attachment issues and are working closely with a therapist.

It truly depends on the child. The older the child, the more likelihood that there MAY be attachment problems. However, I think it depends more the the change in caregivers. The more caregivers, the more attachment problems.
