We're waiting to see if we can adopt a six year old boy from Vietnam. I can't find anything at all about school issues. Do you know of any sites that offer information on this topic? Obviously, at six he would need to go into first grade, but would he do that immediately? Without speaking English? Hard to imagine. Hi–great post!

I really appreciate your honesty. We all would like to think every adoption is all "sunshine and roses," but no one's life is ever entirely so. You've given us all (even PAPs like me of younger children), good fodder for thought and careful basis of comparison. Knowing what the caring people you are, your comments are all the more rich. Your love shines for these children, despite any current challenges. Again, I thank you and Thuy for your kindness on my and my hopeful-daughter's behalf. Your charming family gives me great ambitions for the hopefully-near future. All my best to you all, Jennifer H in FL Hi Michael,
