adopted older child regressing

We adopted a six year old boy from Kaz last year. He's been making leaps and bounds in adapting to his new life outside of the orphanage. After a year of bliss...the honeymoon is ending and he is acting like a baby, refusing to do his homework correctly, writes his numbers backwards, mispells his own name, talks through class, doesn't listen to the teacher and pretty much goes out of his way to do exactly the opposite of what's expected of him at every turn. He used to seem to want to please everyone...now he just seems determined to frustrate everyone. This is the behavior I expected in the beginning...not after a year. Help, I'm going BALD!!!
