Even though you are seeing her daily for 2 hours - you still aren't being the primary caregiver (not that your child really has one at that point). If anything I think it might take a little longer for her to attach to you guys since she may lump you in as another orphanage caregiver. I would just try to do all you could to be a primary caregiver once you gain custody....on the good side I would think that seeing her every day for two weeks might make your adjustment a little easier - in terms of taking her away from everything she knows but yet you were there for a few weeks so your presence might help that?
so I guess to sum up my thoughts = it may delay your attachment a little but she may adjust to her new surroundsings a little better. If it were me, I think I would return home for 30 days...
good luck - you will do what works for your family!
