Psychological Effects
Questions:
- What psychological effects does a closed adoption have on the adoptee?
- I am finding it difficult to bond with my newly-adopted child. Is this normal?
- Do you think my daughters bad dreams are a normal part of childhood or a byproduct of the adoption?
- I have a toddler who is 15 months old, adopted at 12 months. She has woken a few times early from her nap with symptoms that resemble night terrors. Please advise.
