[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know - I think it would actually be great for the baby's attachment to his/her FATHER for him/her to be home with just the father some of his earliest days.

You're not talking about putting him in a daycare center early on (which I did, and we were fine) - you're talking about having your child spend some one-on-one time with his/her other parent and his/her extended family.  [/quote]

Exactly.  DH and I absolutely plan to have the baby cared for by one of us, with the help of grandparents and aunts who are eager to develop a solid relationship with this child from the start, in the first 12 weeks and perhaps longer.  Ideally the baby would only be in daycare PT from 3-6 months and my thinking is to try and space my leave out to help achieve that.  I do think I will want to have more than 2 full weeks off in the beginning and will probably plan to extend that by 2-4 weeks based on advice here and offline from other adoptive parents I've met.
