Our daughter, who will be turning three this
week, has been home with us now for just about three months.
Anna is very affectionate and friendly with adults as well
as children. She is adjusting very well to her new home
and family but I do have one concern that I'm looking for
some guidance on. Any woman, or young girl for that matter,
who visits our home or who she comes in contact with she
wants to go home with. She runs up to women of all ages
that she's never met and holds up her arms for them to pick
her up or tries to hold their hand. Many times when I try
to take her back she cries. Yesterday a saleswoman in a
store picked her up for about one minute and when she tried
to give her back to me, Anna started crying and I had to
tear her away from the woman. Once the person is gone from
her sight, she's perfectly fine and happy to be with her
mother. I realize she has no sense of a family unit yet
and I'm trying hard not to take her actions personally but
I'm really at a loss as to how to handle this. Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
