| Internationally adopted children come from China, Russia, Korea, Guatemala, Ukraine, India, Costa Rica, and many other countries of the world. No matter which country the child is from, adoptive parents have questions about language development. Unlike feeding, crawling, or other abilities that develop continuously before and after adoption, internationally adopted children have to switch their learning over to a new language. This web site is designed to provide answers to the many questions parents and professionals have about language learning following international adoption. |
