[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 491218, member: 1550"] Malika, there are some really GREAT books that you can order from Amazon on attachment, along with tips for helping the bonding process. Let me get a link for you: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=attachmen[/URL] Some people like Nancy Thomas. I don't know if her books came up on this list, but you can put her name in there and her books should come up. Where was J. before he came to you? Was he in an orphanage? Nothing says "disordered attachment" like an orphanage! Some foster homes aren't the greatest either and, of course, some biological parents don't pick up and cuddle their babies either and that's just as bad. Babies need to be tended to, cuddled, touched and interacted with when they are very young. If they attach well to one caregiver, they can usually attach to the next one. Adoption does not automatically mean attachment problems. J. doesn't sound THAT bad. I'll bet the two of you could make fantastic progress even doing it by self-help. [/QUOTE]
