I read your link to Newsweek Karen and I just ran across the hard copy of it earlier today in the doctor's office.
I adopted one child from Russia. Before we left I did all of the reading--about attachment, adopting toddlers, etc.
I was very fortunate(sometimes I dont even appreciate how fortunate I am) that my child is healthy and attached right away. I expected more issues frankly.
After reading the article, however, it sort of got me gunshy about adopting again. In a way I really want a brother or sister for my child Joanna, however, I dont know how good I would be (honestly) If I ended up with a child with major issues. I guess the children the author is writing about are in the minority, but It makes me hesitant about going back and doing it again.(I know my husband is scared too).
