Very much so. Infants and toddlers do not understand "for now" or "temporary child care," hence the stranger anxiety phase. If they've lost even one family member, they can get really clingy with anyone else. Not having an adult to attach with tends to make them die, as orphanages have sadly demonstrated.
Having at least some conversation in a French-derived language does help, though. She was going a little nuts with only English.

I know how that goes.

Sooth. Terramagne does a lot of that. They have learned the hard way that hurting people is hazardous when you never know who might be a person of mass destruction.
