It is also going to be more difficult for English speaking parents to help and care for children that are 5 and 8 years old whom have a serious medical condition due to the language barriers.  In caring for kid’s with this communication is ley basically.  I mean we all know how difficult it is with kids when they are babies and cannot communicate if they are off color for example.  But these two girls will need parents that are also prepared to go that extra mile and learn a little croatian for emergencies...as it is going to be some time before they can speak fliuent English.  their language is already etched into them very strongly.  

There are many hurdles after the adoption also as children feel home sick and their routines all change and they can display bouts of behaviour that can take months to actually subside.  I saw a documemtary on one adoption by Kiwi’s here last year..the little girl with the cleft palate.  they already had one child and they had really bad times in the beginning as the luittle girl withdrew and had huge tantrums similar to those in terrible two’s and this was due to change in surroundings and language barriers.  So really it takes prospective parents to be determined, prepared to go to any lengths to help them and be stretched emotionally and prepared to pay what it takes to get them medically right anyway...and most of those go and approach professional adoption agencies the great majority of the time or people they know whom can make this process more smooth and trouble free.
