I think that it really depends on the parent and the child. There is no cut and dry situation. There is no promise. I was placed for adoption at 7 years old. I bonded quickly and easily, My sister was 16 months older then me and bonded strong with our mom buthad a hard time trusting and processing things emotionally. I adopted my daughter when she was 21 months old. It took her 3 months to bond. We are completely attached and yet she is very outgoing and independent. Age is not the factor that determines adjustment and bonding. Circumstances is not the factor that determines aging and boning. They could be one of the factors that contributes to it. Personality is too and you won't know that until the child is home.
