I've read that any child that has bonded with a parent figure has a much better chance of bonding later with adoptive parents. I've also read that bonding is a learned skill. Some children that are raised in orphanages rarely have someone to bond to and therefore some have problems bonding once they do find their forever families.
One of the positive's of Guatemalan adoptions is their fostering process. It helps the babies learn to bond.
Disclaimer!! Keep in mind that I am no expert
, I am basing the above on what I've read!!!
Good luck!
