Congratulations!
What you are feeling is so normal. I cannot say from experience yet, as we are still waiting to adopt, but I have known parents of children who were biologically born to them or born to them through adoption that have said either or even both! Some bond instantly, others it takes time! And neither is right or wrong. Even for myself, I wonder when we do finally adopt, how will it be for me?
Just remember--bonding takes time becuase it is based on a relationship. The more you and your child come to know each other, the more you will bond.
And also, remember that bonding is not the same as loving. You already love your child. The feelings of togetherness as a family will come in time!
