My adoption peeps with get this one...I spent my first day away from DD today, she's 8 weeks old. I got home and she gave me the biggest smile. I no longer doubt our bond

Our older son was such a tough baby. He cried for the first 3 months of his life. There were times I wondered if his crying was related to being adopted. He became the most insanely bonded to us child ever, I joke with people that he would climb inside me if he could (even now at age 4 lol).

He had colic or whatever going on as a newborn and I totally was projecting my bonding concerns onto newborn fussiness.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with 12 weeks of colic.

Our daycare workers commented that they couldn't believe how happy our now 3.5 yo was when I picked him up every day during the first few months we had him. I think at first it was more, "thank God! A familiar face!" To "that's my mama!!" They both do it now still and I love it.
