[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say putting them in counselling / therapy from day one (even if it’s play therapy). Every single one of the adopted people I know has attachment, mood, or substance abuse problems. That includes within my own extended family. Now, I’m not saying that attachment and substance abuse issues don’t occur with “everyone else”, but I find it interesting that every adoptee I know has an issue. And that’s including those, who by all accounts (including their own) have had a happy life with their adoptive family. I’ll be honest.. so many thread on THIS board have convinced me that I would never adopt, nor adopt a child I had and couldn’t keep, for whatever reason. [/quote] Part of attachment is parents bonding with kids. Often it is just blamed on the child and the child not bonding with the parents, but if the parents don't bond with that child, that's an even bigger issue. [/quote]
