Why on Earth would you take a stranger into your home and expect to feel love for them right away? I was entertained by our first placement, a 2.5yr old, for a few days... until he started raging and then I felt duped! I talked to his therapist several months in and admitted I cared about him but didn't feel that overwhelming sense of love I thought I'd feel. She told me to stop worrying about what I thought I was SUPPOSED to feel and just let it happen. It did, eventually. Now that raging toddler is my handsome, engaging Kindergartener and I am so blessed to be his Mom!
Give yourself a break, it's an adjustment for you too!!
