I truly think it depends on the disposition of the child. My advice is to read up on everything you can about attachment, bonding, and parenting to facilitate bonding. That way, you are prepared for the worst -- even if it doesn't happen.
We brought home a toddler at 17 months and it was 2 solid months of H*(# and then, day by day, it got a little better and a little better. We still have a rotten day here or there, but on the most part, what we are experiencing is just terrible twos and not attachment issues.
Good luck! Hope it all goes well~
