These are my observations from my daughter and her progression:
The descriptions were very similar. I found that the more she began to attach to us the worse her rages or tantrums became. She wanted to control. It was worse during the 1st 6 months. The 2nd year was better than the 1st. We are in the 3rd year. It isn't great but is getting there.
She still has anxious attatchment. She has made great progress and is a great child. Sometimes I worry but I often hear stories of children of friends, not adopted, who act so much worse than her. Not that it makes her OK, but it makes me lighten up just a touch.
It is hard. No doubt. It is exhausting and life changing. I would do it all over again though.
