I totally know what you are saying! Our children have been here for over 3 years and I cannot say for sure that I'm 'in love' with them. But, I'm committed to healing them, committed to caring for them and fully able to give them hugs/kisses and positive words, along with the discipline and structure they need. I'm not a real touchy gal and therefore I parent our oldest bio son in much the same way as our younger two. These children have a past and that can color the way they want to be loved and the way you are able to love them - just like your personality colors such a thing. You should just be honest with the CW about what is going on. You should also be honest with your DH and allow him the same courtesy - but don't suffocate excitement that you may be feeling. Men are often different in their views - my DH is much more concrete than I am...
