He had attached so well to his nannies that we terrified him. But here we are, a little over a year later, and CJ and I are BONDED, big time! We have 3 from China, different backgrounds, but like Meredith, I can say (without a doubt) that the love, care, preparation that New Day gives each cild makes ALL the difference in the world!<br />Love all u guys and pray for you!<br />NikkiSymasek Family Circushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746617570915645603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044101655513942799.post-29466681884190452652013-06-17T12:47:13.551-04:002013-06-17T12:47:13.551-04:00We adopted a four year old in 2012.

We have been home now for six months and it is slowly changing but it has been one of the most painful things I have ever experienced! I was totally unprepared.

Moved to the orphanage. At ll months surgery, at 12-14 months moved to a foster home. Then at 4 he came to us. So there was a lot to over come. A lot of trust to earn. Through out his early life he had a crib mate that was with him from the day he was in the orphanage. He was attached to him. Then when the transition to the foster family came he was distraught until they brought his crib mate to the foster family. Our son bonded well with us, I think and truly believe it is because of the foster family experience. What he has been diagnosed with is an adjustment disorder. Therapy and lots of love and patience are what is working for us. Lots of work but so worth seeing him come to life. We are 6 years bringing him home and we are finally getting break through after break through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044101655513942799.post-5631570623922142622013-06-17T02:57:09.247-04:002013-06-17T02:57:09.247-04:00I can say without a DOUBT that ND's care of Br...I can say without a DOUBT that ND's care of Brooke was so instrumental in the quick attachment that we experienced with her! Her bonding process was seamless and we couldn't be more thankful for the love from the Mamas at ND they provide these special babies with the care they need!

Our first 2 were the NSN AYAP adoptions. The girls were 9 months at adoption, but both had been in a traditional orphanage setting. They had the delays from that experience, but being so very young attachment came fairly easy. Ten y.o. boys who came from a not-so-good foster situation and suddenly removed to an orphanage for 2 years before coming to us...are a bit more difficult, BUT we do see the effects of a single foster home for 6 years. Our youngest came to us from a foster home in which she was placed at birth (or close to it) she came to me at 30 months...I was worried...adoption week was tough, but each day got better...the best thing is that she knows what a mom is supposed to do! A piece of hair in her mouth...mama. tou-fa...a package she couldn't open...mama open..falls down....mama! There was a ba-ba in her life too and he must have been the fun loving kind...she knew what ba-ba's were for too! Please thank your foster parents they have a hard job! Keep doing what you are doing!!!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103378389155773502noreply@blogger.com
