    This sweet little boy is my brother.. He has brought such joy to our family. As of today he has been in America 11 weeks...he no longer speaks his native language. He has not only blessed my life but my entire family's. Amare has shown me what's in

      Just a curiosity question, not meaning to be judgemental in any way. I replayed to see if the sweet and happy little boy was speaking any English when he met his new dad? And I'm certainly not suggesting that the child speaking English should be a requirement. Now my question, where the child doesn't speak English (and the new parent/parenst speak English as their first language and ;don't speak the native language of the child; are the new parents given any training/guidelines of how to help the child to develop English? (Seems to me this is so important, a total lack of spoken communication at first must be very draining for the child and the new parents and cause much frustration.)

    This little boy's eyes were just twinkling, and when his new daddy was holding him he was so happy. What a success! You could feel the love you have for this child and he seemed so receptive and open to you. I wish you the best days ahead as a new family!!!!

    • @MsKennedy31
      @MsKennedy31 10 років тому

      We chose an agency that was close to were we lived so you can simply google adoption agencies from wherever you live. It's so much more convenient to have the agency close to you. We did a lot of research on different agencies before we chose one. It also depends on where you want to adopt from... Not all agencies offer the same countries to adopt from.

    As for his language he will no longer speak if for us after having him at 6 weeks he quit speaking it completely we still have an app to help him remember it so we go over it often. He loves his hog shirt! He is turning into a true fan :) Thank you all for the sweet comments and we hope to have a new video up of him now so you all can see how well he is doing and how much he has grown :) May God Bless You All!!
