international adoptees

[Virginia Valian]

The post didn't say how much research the prospective parents of the
9-year-old Russian child have done on the daunting challenges facing
international adoptees and their adoptive parents.  If the prospective
parents have not done much research, here are some places they might start:

At BUCLD 37 on 4 November 2012 , Audrey Delcenserie & Fred Genesee presented
stunning data documenting the long-lasting language delays in Chinese
children adopted between the ages of 7 and 24 months and reared in a
monolingual French-speaking environment.

Inge-Marie Eigsti has also worked extensively on the language outcomes of
internationally adopted children, and here is a link to one of her and her
colleagues' papers:

Any of these individuals would have a great deal to contribute to anyone
considering adoption.
