I have two new adoption resources on the nutrition of children that are adopted and how to help your newly adopted child and the foundation that started the foundation and websites. The Spoon Foundation is on a mission to try and provide nutritional suppliments to orphans around the world. The two ladies that began this adopted children that seemed to be severly handicapped, but turned out that they were severly malnurished. We experience the same thing with Samuel. He was malnurished, tiny and had constant ear infections when we picked him up. He had not been eating solid foods at 15 months old besides an occasional bite of egg white or banana. When he was with us he started eating everything he could get his hands on. The first two years he was home he ate 4 (yes, 4) hard boiled eggs every morning. He grew like a weed, was healthy as on ox and still loves eggs to this day. So check out these links and pass them on. The second site is Adoption Nutrition this gives advice for those who are about to adopt and those who have. (they are linked to the Spoon Foundation).
Blessings,
Laurie

Hi Laurie-Thanks for posting about SPOON's Adoption Nutrition website. We work hard to get the word out about this resource to as many people as possible and it was great to see a post about it on your blog. I would love to touch base about your son's early nutrition issues and wonder if you would be willing to share that story in our "Nutrition Profiles" section? Please email me, and congrats on your new son! Mishelle from SPOON Foundation mishelle@spoonfoundation.org
