I'd like to second (or third ) the recommendation for this book. we ultimately decided that our lifestyle as it was wasn't conducive to adopting a toddler with possible attachment issues-dh traveled and I traveled, sometimes for 2 months or so. that has since changed (i'm now staying home), so we're considering toddler adoption down the road . not every toddler has attachment issues, it is important to consider all the possibilities.
