My daughter was in a foster home for over a year and although they said she was attached, I really doubt it. They had several children and then had a baby so she was on her own a lot. I am sure they were a good family but she needed more than they could give and I don't think they realized her needs. (She was 2 when she came to us.) Consistency is really important with attachment issues. Keep up the good work. It takes a long time and just when you think you're all set, they do something that makes you feel like you're going backward. When I get frustrated I try to remember where my daughter came from and her hardships. That helps when she's bouncing off the walls! Take care.
