Surely attachment isn’t in the instant of adoption or birth, right?
The instant of birth, sometimes; sometimes it's before the birth even. Sometimes it does take time; my friend didn't feel much when his sons were born but he got attached very quickly. Still, his is the only case I've heard of my parent friends not getting attached at birth or before.
I think this is just highly individual, which is why so many people are responding so negatively. I also think that if you do end up having kids of your own, you might be surprised at how much you care about them even before the birth. Or, maybe not. I just know there's a good chance your emotions won't do what you think they will.
