READ READ READ on attachment issues...then when you've read as much as you can, READ SOME MORE....

my dd wasn't in foster care, and I was told exhibited no apparent attachment issues....well, adoption as an older child CAUSES attachment issues...I was totally blindsided and it took her 3 years to finally start to be "real" and learn to trust again.

That in my opinion has made parenting the hardest....I wasn't a mommy, I was a parole officer.....it felt like.
