[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 721709, member: 1550"] Yes. Goneboy was adopted at six. We adopted Princess as an infant a few yeaRs later. My hunch was right and although Goneboy was well behaved (except when he wasnt) he never bonded with us in a family way. But Princess did!! She thought it was sick and gross. She said his proposal had made her feel like throwing up. It was never the same between them after that. Princess stayed away. That is the differrnce between adopting a baby and a six year old. Wr loved Goneboy to the moon, but he never felt like we were family to him. He was too old to bond, too many important formative years had been spent in an orphanage without one caregiver. He was confused and unable to love us, by his words, and he actually said he tried but did not feel as if we were his family. My young adoptees are all very close to me and each other. I dont know that most older adoptees are not damaged in their ability to attach to a family. Adopted babies do though. Attachment disorder reaks. [/QUOTE]
