I only have time for a quick reply, so I may post again later.

1. Slow down if you want to. You SW should not be pushing you. Take your time. If you are going to be mom and dad, take control of the situation now, and run it at your pace

2. Big forehead - this was discussed recently on the Russion board. Appears to be common for malnurished kids (sp?)

3. I would think you have every right to see the medicals, and should see them. This is a lifelong decision, and you have a right to see the facts

4. RAD - I would not be concerned that he did not miss his FM. It soulds more like a daycare or orphanage situation than a real home. He is probably gettng much more attention and love from you. He recognizes this and clings to it

5. Running to a corner - Seems smart to me. He has found a way to comfort himself since there was no one else to do it. It is much better than rocking himslf for hours, which many orphahage kids do.

6. Calling everyone mom and dad - I do not see an issue. My friends birth daughter (2 years old) called me mom when I was at the playground with her and my DD.

Overall - take control of the situation. That in itself will help you calm your fears. Take the time you need, get the medicals you need, and make the decision when you are ready. That way you will not be pushed into it, and always wonder if you did the right thing,
