I really need some advice. Five months ago, we brought our beatiful Chinese daughter home. She bonded to us very quickly. Perhaps some of you are familar with the BBC documentaty "The Dying Rooms." Our daugter's orphanage was in that documentary. As a result of the documentary, the orphanage was improved -- or so they say. We went to visit the orphanage but were not allowed to see the room where the children live. So we will never know the truth of how our daughter spent the fist year of her life. She is a bubbly and bright girl. She is what one would call "a survivor." The thing that concerns me is her obsession with food. It's as if she thinks there won't be enough food for her later on, and so she keeps eating and eating. At 18 monnths old, she weighs 28 pounds. I do my best to make sure she only eats healthy things. (No cheerios, banana cookies, white breads, sweets etc) I think she seeks comfort in eating, and I am not sure how to best help her to overcome that. Am I too concerned? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
