DS came home at 18 months weighing 17 pounds. Little to no growth really for the first few monts. Home 1 year and a massive growth spurt during summer of 5 pounds and 3 and 1/4 inches. WOW! Three shoe changes in less than 4 months! He has been hme since September of 2005 and is built on the small side. He is in the 25 percentile for both height and weight.
My thoughts: Rule out any parasites etc. and protien load. The hair, skin and major organs will take all the nutrients first then once that levels off the fram growth will happen.
2008 I did a birth mother search and now have photos and vide of DS family. They are all on the smaller side and he looks just like his bio-sister who is one year older. It eased my mind to see that but many of us do not have that option.
I felt horroble about DS nutrition the first yer because he was living off of macaroni and cheese and yogurt! I can not believe he is not orange! Anyway we got through it. I was worried the entire time but my Ped was not in the least bit concerned...
Best of luck!

" 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
