I am a regular in the lounge but have never been over here before. I am hoping some of you might help me help my friend. She is currently in Kazakstan in the process of adoption. Her little girl is 16 months old and a gorgeous, happy toddler. My friend is a bit concerned because she isn't talking yet. My guess is that living in the baby house there with other young children and not alot of adult intervention may have something to do with the delay. She is one of the older children there-they will keep them there until age 3. Reportedly the staff is very warm and engaging with the kids.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience. Any stories or thoughts are hugely appreciated. TIA
