I was the same way with my first. And he came to live with us as a foster child at 5 months old!

We picked up #2 from the hospital (domestic newborn adoption) and it wasn't until she was about 8 or 9 months old I finally felt the unbelievably strong love that I had felt with my son. I never had any of the fears about her like I did with my son, let her play on her own more as a baby rather than holding her constantly, etc.

I'm guessing this is more of a #2 thing than an adoption thing, but certainly the fear of losing her could be affecting how quickly/strongly you are bonding right now.
