Great subject! I was told by many many well meaning family and friends that we should have our baby sleep in his/her crib in their room to avoid spoiling them and causing a bad habit. Since then I have been reading everything I can about adoption and attachment, and it would be a mistake for my husband and I to not try the family bed idea. Our baby will be 7 months to a little over a year old when we finally get him or her home, and they need to bond to us and know that we will always be there for them. We will be careful to safeguard the bed, keep pillows and blankets away from his/her little face etc. But I want to do everything I can to avoid any attachment disorders ... plus they will come from an orphanage where they share the room if not crib with several other warm little bodies. This is just my 2 cents! Thank you for sharing your stories as well, I wish you all the best
