OH my I can only imagine your fear! My heart and prayers go out to you. Praying for the best so I will comment on the weight gain piece...
Our son gained very slowly for the first year then he gained in quantum leaps. We look back and he was very very tiny but after a Birth parent search we now know his biological family is very small. If I had to do it over again, I would not have any juice for him at all for the first year to encourage his primal apetite. he ate ravenously for the first month then he really slowed down. Take a good look at every aspect of his diet that you can, write it down, analyze it and tune up any areas you can. Hide protien any place you can and eliminate anything high in sugars. I am sure you are conscious of his diet as we all are but I literally started reading everything after he had been home a year. The following year we had a 3.75 height gain and 8 pounds. He went from wearing size 9-12 month clothing at the time of pick up to blazing through to a size 4T shirt and a 3T bottom and also from a 4 shoe to a 10.5 in the last 3 years 1.5 months.
No matter what you discover you will handle it beautifully. God picked you all to be a family and I feel certain you came equipped to handle just about anything. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. The hardest part is the waiting!

" I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you and every long lost dream lead me to where you are others who broke my heart they were just northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving arms this much I know is true....That God blessed the broken road and lead me straight to you, I think about the years I spent just passing through, I'd like to take the time I lost and give it back to you but you just smile and take my hand even then you understand that its all part of this grander plan that is coming true and every long lost dream lead me to where you are..."-SELAH
