Check for Reactive Attachment Disorder in the "special needs and attachment" section of the forums - this sounds like it may be something along those lines, and the reactions you are describing (from DH & family) are also similar. Trust your instincts on this.
My kids were adopted much older (10+ years old) and the initial 3 years seemed like they were really bonded, but now we are dealing with issues surrounding them all being "loosely bonded". Now that I know more, the warning signs were there, but subtle.

If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.
