Post Great link...Loss after Loss

A4everFamily.org - Loss After Loss

This is a great piece...talks about fear of abandonment...which is something common in many adult adoptees. I do see little windows of this in my children...both of the them...the one who struggled to attach and the one who breezed through the transition.

Anyone care to discuss?

This was a great site!! As someone in the waiting list, I am trying to read up on as much information as possible. The article you mentioned was great - and there were a lot of great tips on the links.

I have read some blogs of recently home families trying to follow the 6-week only mom/dad hold the baby routine and wasn't able to find any details about it. This article had those specific tips in it... and it really sounds, while challenging, worth a try!

Thanks!!

Bingo! It was the clue that broke the case.

“Debra, I think Lindsey was waiting for you to come back and wash your hands together.”

Debra’s expression revealed she was baffled.


This is my 4 year old daughter to a T. Home at 5 months and easily attached.
