How can I help the bonding and attachment process with my adopted child?

If you want to help your adopted child through the bonding and attachment process, you want to make sure that you go at their pace. You shouldn't rush them; you should make them feel comfortable with situations, with questions, but really do it at their time frame, so that they are taking each step in a way that is developmentally and comfortable for them. There are activities you can do together that establish you as a family. You can travel together as a family, build a garden or put together a family scrapbook. Things that are family activities that bring you closer together with your child may also help with the bonding process with your adoptive child.
