[quote=Anonymous]I have three older adopted kids who were adopted at older ages. FWIW, while they have all bonded within our family it has never happened outside the five of us. They enjoy our families but aren’t especially sad when we’ve had significant deaths. They also don’t have boyfriends or girlfriends though that might happen - mostly they talk about living together when we’re gone. I don’t think my kids are so unusual except maybe their closeness to each other - which we are very thankful for. Maybe you could set your sights on having your new relative enjoy time with you. I think PPs have been on target about trust and trauma. It took years for our kids to trust us and build a relationship with us and we’re there day in and day our meeting every need that we are aware of and can. [/quote]
