[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I used to work with a woman who placed her daughter for adoption at 8 months. She was a single mom and couldn't handle the responsibility. Nor did she want to. I was shocked. However, mom had very little emotional attachment. The little girl was hopefully raised in a better situation.[/quote] 8-month-olds are still practically potatoes. I wouldn't expect a strong emotional attachment yet.[/quote] Wtf are you talking about? My kid was attached to his parents at three-ish months for sure. He knew who his parents were and would squawk if someone else tried to hold him for too long.[/quote] Mine did too, and I adopted him at three months.n If anyone other than me tried to hold him, he cried. Finally a month later, my mom could home her grandson til the cows came home. But it did take a month. [/quote] Of course, anyone with kids knows this. This child was closer to 2 by the time she was adopted. Very traumatic no doubt.[/quote] Not normal. Look at any daycare for many, many counterexamples.[/quote]
