We're home with our son for just over 4 months. I am very focused on attachment and health issues. Physical healthwise, things are looking good. He's just one year old now and we continue to monitor his development, etc.

Attachment is another story. He is *very* strong willed. We have progressed quite a lot - lots of affection given and taken, comes to me when hurt, etc. But eye contact (up close) is stressful for him - we're working on that. If you had asked me after 2-3 weeks of coming home, I'd have said he is attached. Wishful thinking! Read lots of books and just be prepared - not for the worse necessarily, but for the journey. It just takes time, so be realistic.
