Attachment and Separation
Since our son is already 7 mos. old and with the knowledge that realistically he could be 9 mos. or more before we bring him home, I am wondering about the separation from the foster mother. When we visited him when he was only 2 and half mos. old there was no problem. He easliy transferred from caretaker to caretaker and was so sweet. From the photos I have of him, I can read the attachment he has with the foster mother. This is a positive thing, but my heart breaks just thinking about taking him from her and whisking him away to a brand new environment. I know he will adjust to his new home but I'd like to hear if anyone else had or has similar concerns as one's baby is nearing the attachment phase of child development. Thank you.
