My son had speech problems(and didnt toilet train until late) but would I have chosen not to give birth to him if I had known he would need help? NO WAY! he is in third grade and his speech problems are in the past but he needs extra help in keeping up with his class. If you want this child in your life(and it sure sounds like you do) then just close your ears and refuse to hear the naysayers. who knows you better than you? and really speech problems and late toilet training boys is not really a big deal. a little preschool, and a loving home and I bet you anything he recovers his speech QUICKLY and the toilet thing will happen in its own time, in my experience boys (most boys, not just adopted boys) are just slower to train. bring home your baby and love him. I would bet anything he thrives in your home.
ps we are adopting a 3 year old boy from Russia. so we may be facing similar experiences. I dont know if he talks, he doesnt in the video. but if he doesnt, we will deal with it. I wish you the best with your new baby.
