Example text

It’s got to be a familiar face. And as the weeks pass, indeed the baby begins to sort out who is part of the family and who is not. By five or so months, the baby knows: this is the one who takes care of me most and seems most to want me around: she’s my mother! And, there’s that one with the loud voice who disappears during the day; he’s nice, he kind of always wants to play; well, that’s my dad. And that smaller one, who is sometimes nice to me and sometimes is bad, that’s my brother or my sister.

In our thirty-seven-year project (Parens, 1979, [2008]), among the myriad things the mothers and children taught us, one mother elucidated something I had not tagged before. Talking about taking care of her neighbors’ children for a day, Mrs. Green told us that they are really lovely kids, but she became conscious of the fact that she didn’t feel toward them as she does toward her own two children. She said, ‘‘I can’t feel for them like for my own kids; if I did, I wouldn’t be able to just let them go home for the night with their own mother.

14 In fact, taking note of the infant’s developmental plasticity, as we all know, children who are adopted very early in life can and most do form very deep and positive attachments to the members of their adoptive family. To be sure, the adopted infant and young child does so without the benefit of the third trimester fetus already knowing the mother who will give birth to the baby. Within our local professional community, some have significantly studied issues associated with adoption, to wit, Virginia Brabender and April Fallon’s (2013) richly informing book, Working with Adoptive Parents (see also Fallon and Goldsmith, 2013).
