How about we just accept that people love in different ways? In the beginning I worried that I didnt feel that "connection/deep bond" with my kids. But then I came to realize it is who I am. Is it because I am adopted? Maybe but maybe not. I didnt realize exactly how deep the connection was until they both went away to a week long sleep-over camp. They were 11 and 14 at the time. As a single mom, at first I was thrilled to have time to myself but then I realized that went they were gone, so was a BIG part of my heart. I love and accept my kids in the way that works for us. Worring that the way you love them isnt good enough accomplishes nothing. You love them and take care of them. That is more than a lot of kids have. Accept it and enjoy them in a way that works for you.
