Hi there,
My husband and I are in the process of adopting older siblings out of the foster care system. In our parenting classes, we learned that many children harbor resentment towards the mother figure in their lives. This is usually a result of their experiences when very young. We were told by many parents that when a child starts to feel close to the family is when they will start to pull away. This might explain why things seemed fine for the first five days, then she started to act up towards you. I have talked to a few people in our adoption support group who have said that this happened but they were able to work through it.
