As the mom of a young infant who suffered from attachment issues...we got our son just as he turned 8 months old...I suggest reading up on attachment parenting and bonding in general. I strongly believe my son also suffered from grief in the loss of his caretakers...he was in a great orphanage...and that simply added to his anxious attachment.
Being prepared for the issues which may arise is your best plan of action. Understanding what the baby is going through will help you deal with him. The good news is that once a baby has been able to form an attachment, in most cases their transition is much easier than a child who has never formed a strong attachment.
I also strongly believe that the baby's personality plays a huge role in their transition...our daughter was in a much worse situation than our son...yet she attached nicely.
Good luck...may his attachment go smoothly and may you bring him home soon.
