It is so good to have an idea what the first little while could be like...If they are really attached to Jim to begin with, it could be great and hard since he is the principal of their school!!!

He attached to my husband right away, and was jealous of attention to his bio sister. 11 months later, and he is more appropriate in his affection for us. <br /><br />Both children were standoffish at first with me. They had loved their mother dearly, and they still (rightfully so) grieve her death. They also had time in the orphanage that separated them from their father, who was not able to care for them.<br /><br />I would say that it really does take about a year for everyone to attach fully. We're coming up on a year, and I can hardly believe the changes in that time. Every month gets better, and I almost can't remember life before our children... seems like they've been here a lot longer.Nitro Krycerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286543296146542328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563053862225814034.post-62725832914074890392009-04-30T10:50:00.000-05:002009-04-30T10:50:00.000-05:00TEARS!
