We had attachment issues. Our son was 7 1/2 months when he came home. He cried or whined CONSTANTLY. He woke 7-8 times per night for 12 weeks. He overfed...drinking 55 ounces of formula per day. He was constantly sad. He bit me and my children. He slapped and kicked as well. It was heartbreaking.
The Weavers craft was good. I found a recent book called the Post Adoption Blues to be excellent. Can't recall the author, but it was published in 2005 by a psychiatrist and his wife who adopted from China.
Our son's issues have mostly resolved...although I would still describe him as my Velcro baby most days.
