I don't think she has attachment isssues. I think she came here hesitant (she visited us when her former foster family went on a vacation). hat day she and my youngest son, who is only 8 months older tahn her, hit it off. They were instant friends and they are VERY close now. She got to know me and DH and she realized how caring we are. She visited us several times over the summer before she even knew we were a placement family. She thought she was just visiting to play - all approved by the agency. She had a great time here. One day she told me she did not want to go to an adoptive home because then she would not be able to visit us. She like us. She was comfortable here. She was able to play with kids her age and sh got to do things she had never doe before, like riding bike and going to amusement parks. That is our life. We are active and she enjoys that.
Love can grow very quickly when you are happy. We fall in love with people who treat us kindly every day. I love my neighbors, I have since soon after we moved here. That does not mean I have attachment issues. It means I am an open-hearted person who has met great people. Our FD is the same way. We are kind to her, she nows that and she appreciates it. She goes to counseling. Her counselor and caseworkers WERE all pleasantly surprised with how well she took to us but they see now that it isa healthy attachment. She is not on my lap all the time. She plays well with other children. She is just an amazing person...enough said!
