We have 17 and 4 month old sibs. We got each of them right from the hospital. While we are still "just the foster family" we have not noticed any attachment problems. We are hoping that soon they will be officially with us forever. I also have 2 bios and have to say the bond is absolutely NO different. I have been a little more distant with some of our other fcs, but these guys felt as if they were part of our family from the beginning.
I have an adult friend who is an adoptee and tells me often that she gets great comfort from seeing how bonded we are to each other. She has asked me several times if I feel differently about them than I do my bios and says it has been very healing to hear me say "absolutely not" and to see me live it.
