We do get attached to our charges, don't we.
After all, God did give them to us.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Genesis 1:27-28 NKJV

Some of us just get a little more attached then others.

I get very attached to dogs. No other animal loves you like a dog.
