I was talking about attachment to someone a few days ago (trying to explain to someone who isn't an adopter) and said just what you did about how much I wish there was a test for it - I think I said that I wished there was a simple urine test for all of us! But there's not, and it takes so much time for new families to become tuned in to each other. <br /><br />This really is such a hopeful post - you've done my heart a lot of good :)Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352341442556433375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608972264037365146.post-9034959322051261152011-03-01T02:32:03.850-08:002011-03-01T02:32:03.850-08:00Beautiful.

It's funny because I consciously know that when DD does it, but I still struggle with it hurting my ego for some reason.

It took a while and she went through similar things you are experiencing now, but she feels they've made wonderful progress now. :) You could read about it here:<br /><br />http://onetwogrow.blogspot.com/2011/02/black-and-white-wednesday-my-daughter.htmlBuckeroomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408502555249594576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608972264037365146.post-1861930000539435632011-02-28T15:35:37.960-08:002011-02-28T15:35:37.960-08:00Wow....amazing post.
