I'm not sure how old your son is, but my daughter was 12 months when we brought her home. I also worried about everything and then someone gave me the book What to Expect in the Toddler Years, and it was a lifesaver. The book breaks down development and behaviors month by month and as I read the book I realized that a lot of these "strange" behaviors were normal development behaviors. Instead of thinking "oh, this is an adoption issue", I started thinking "oh, this is a 13 month (or whatever month) issue".
And of course you're going to worry more now. Before your son was a hope and a dream, now he's real and he's yours and you're like every other parent--we worry. It's part of the job description.
