Well actually adoptive babies are often not realeased to their adoptive families till they are 3+ months old. Most agencies do not want to place a child until the period of time where the mother can recind her release without going to court, is over. For most states that peroid is 60-90 days. I used to foster pre-adoptive infants. I got them right from the hospital. Even those surrendered at birth, on average spent their first three months in foster care and some up to 8 months. so already there could be bonding issues becaue the baby bonds with the foster parent and then is moved. Those children not free, whose parents rights needed to be terminated on average stayed with me 4 years before they were freed. So only the private adoptions and maybe foreighn adoptions are getting the benifit of early year stabilitynow anyway. -RM

[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 525822, member: 2315"] Well actually adoptive babies are often not realeased to their adoptive families till they are 3+ months old. Most agencies do not want to place a child until the period of time where the mother can recind her release without going to court, is over. For most states that peroid is 60-90 days. I used to foster pre-adoptive infants. I got them right from the hospital. Even those surrendered at birth, on average spent their first three months in foster care and some up to 8 months. so already there could be bonding issues becaue the baby bonds with the foster parent and then is moved.
