Not only attachment issues, but there are also sleep issues with children who are adopted because of the trauma, grief, transition. They had a past before they came to our house, and night terrors are very common in adopted children. They wake up in the middle of the night crying, screaming, flailing about, uncontrollable. It can go on for an hour, two hours sometimes with these children. There's no calming them down. So children are sleep-deprived, but parents are as well.
