Although it hasn't been easy, I wouldn't say we've had problems. I guess it depends on your definition of problems. Our children are happy, they are in line with their peers developmentally (or ahead of them) and they are very affectionate with us. (I won't say attached yet, but we have had great progress!)

Our children are getting healthier and better adjusted everyday. We hope that this trend continues.

That being said, we've only been home 9 months. We really wont know for years how the children have adjusted. Because of this, I keep on these forums, keep up with my reading and look for signs of trouble - not because I am hoping it will be there - but because I want to be able to give our children what they will need and those needs may change.

I am hesitant to label our children but I would not hesitate to seek professional help when needed. We have already had EI testing done on our oldest and will likely have the baby tested next year.

I was prepared for the worst and I have been so pleasantly surprised. DH was prepared for the best and had a little bit of a harder time at first. Now we are all on the same page (and he doesnt tease me about all the research I do/did!)
