Our son lived in a hogar for 11 months. He came home in June 2006. We've had no attachment issues at all. He knows who mommy and daddy are. He attached to me right from the beginning. He's getting closer to my husband the longer he's here with us. I really think it helped that I visited about a month before he came home, and I know he remembered me from that visit. My husband went on the pick-up trip by himself, but as soon as they arrived at the airport, Matthew came right to me without hesitating at all. Every child is different, but we haven't had any problems at all. Good luck.
