Having a really hard time bonding

Here's a shortened version of the story.

We got G 2 days ago. He's almost nine months old and we are his FOURTH home! From 0-2 months he was in care. Then went back to bios til 4 months. Then back into care from 4-8.5 months. His social worker is FINALLY going to recommend tpr at next hearing, in Nov so we are his fost-adopt home.
The problem is, he doesn't cuddle, wont let anyone hold his bottle, wont rest his head on our shoulder and hates to be rocked. I don't want to force him to do anything bc I know he's probably confused BUT the foster mom who had him told us all of these same things and she had him for almost 5 months. I'm worried he wont bond with us or that he'll never be a cuddler. Our family is sooooooo affectionate, it's driving me crazy!
ANy ideas???
