It took a while for our son Raj to bond with us. He's very active, VERY VERY active. So we thought that had something to do with it. It turned out he just needed some time. It took about 4 months for him to really bond and feel comfortable with hugs and getting rocked to sleep. Yes he loves getting rocked to sleep now, at 5 yrs old.

What it ended up being with Raj was anxiety issues and fear of getting hurt again. But once he realized we were going to be mommy & daddy forever it made a huge difference. Even adoption day itself changed Raj a lot.

Just spend as much time as possible with him, meet all of his needs and enjoy being his mommy.

It's very rare that children act the way we want them to.
