[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 541213, member: 11791"] I am aware of ONE case... out of dozens among extended family and friends. The child was a 7yo with quite a history, but... [I]the first two years DID include fairly-normal attachment. (per the case-worker, and validated by what happened for the next 30+ years) [/I]Not that this now-adult adoptee ever became strongly attached, but what should/could have been classical Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), was some variation on insecure attachment, and it was possible to reach this child, and teach love etc. Those first 2-3 years are critical. If they learn to be loved at that age, there seems to be some hope. [/QUOTE]
