[quote=Anonymous]11:40 here again. 13:04 is exactly right. Attachment issues are no joke. Kids who have been bounced out of birth families and foster homes have great difficulty trusting parent figures. They will absolutely do their best to reject you before you reject them. You need to be resilient and truly commit to loving them no matter what. It's a hard, hard road. But man - when that trauma starts to fade away and you start to truly connect with the kid (it's been about a year for us and we're starting to get there) - it's amazing. [/quote]
