Our little guy is 4 - our homecoming day was Feb 22nd.

Language has been the biggest obstacle. The orphanage doctor and the embassy doctor both said his Russian language skills were quite good. We know when he is frustrated with - you can see it. Generally a good hug helps him.

It has been 6-8 weeks since he has been with us, and he is already picking up simple english sentences.

We are fortunate that he now has an older brother and sisiter - plus our neighbors boy is the same age. He receives plenty of stimulation from his new family and the neighborhood. I think this has helped ease his transition.
