The posts on Foster Care regulations against nurturing foster 
children have been disturbing. There are two books that will reveal 
what damage is done to these infants with such restrictions.

The Oxytocin Factor:  Tapping The Hormone of Calm, Love, and Healing, 
by "our own" Kerstin Uvnas-Moberg (2003)

Oxytocin, The Chemistry of Connection by Susan Kuchinskas  (2009) 
(Uvnas-Moberg's research is a foundation of this very readable book 
along with other research on the vital role of oxytocin in creating 
healthy humans.)

You will all find Kuchinskas book an eye opener. It is in paperback 
and quite inexpensive but worth its weight in gold.
