For those who have adopted I really could use some help. I keep panicking over EVERYTHING! Does he have FAE, is there something wrong, did he do that because he will have emotional problems, is he autistic. Every article I read, every person who tells me something, every bit of news I hear about this child developing this or that after being adopted from Russia sends me into a panic. He has started sitting in his bed staring at the wall, he doesn't wake us up or make any noise, just sit's there until one of us comes in or he falls back asleep. Part of me says this is probably just a learned behavior from the orphanage. Then there's the part that kicks in and says he didn't do it in the beginning, so why now! What if he's autistic, what if somethings wrong? Why is it that I didn't worry nearly this much about what happened to him before we got him prior to the adoption. Now that he's home I keep going back to what if!! Did anyone else feel this way? What did you do to conquer it!
