Some kids are HARDER to love, plain and simple. With my first foster placement I loved my 2 y.o. almost instantly... it took MONTHS with my 10 y.o.
With my current placements, Pixie was again almost instantaneous, Teeter took a few weeks because I was scared of all his medical issues for awhile and I can't say that I really LOVE Big Sis yet. I care for her, I want what's best for her... but like your kiddo, she screams, she throws tantrums, she's mean to the babies... etc. So, she's just not that easy to love. I don't feel shame in saying that, as its just the truth. I do know that if she stays (I'm foster-adopt, not straight adopt) I will grow to love her more all the time. She's been here two months... sometimes it takes awhile.
