I remember when we were between trips to bring our son home and everyone kept saying he must be so excited to be adopted and I had to tell them no. I asked them if they knew any six year olds who wanted to leave everything and everyone they knew and go live with strangers. Strangers who don't know thier language who smell different, look different, serve different food, have a different schedule, celebrate different holidays, etc. Now, yes we did try to keep some things the same, but the truth is living here is way different than living in an orphanage. Kids don't usually like change, they like familiar. Now, he is happy to be here, but every now and then he tells us he misses Poland. (though usually only when he doesnt' get his way, LOL)
