12 month old concerns

Hoping someone can ease my concerns a little. I adopted a boy last June and he turned one in December. I’m a little worried about his development when it comes to socially. When we go to play groups, he’ll stay sat with me and just watch everyone around us, he doesn’t partake in anything. I will say that if someone smiles at him, he smiles back but he’ll stay with me. He was a late crawler (a week before his first birthday) but doesn’t crawl anywhere within a group for toys. It’ll take him a good thirty minutes or so before he starts playing with any of the toys in front of him. Is something I should be concerned about? His birth parents have learning difficulties though I can’t say what they are so I’m looking out for everything.

I can understand you being worried, especially with what you know about his birth parents.

I would repost again the Adoption Section. The experienced and supportive MNers in there DHound be able to tell you if what you're experiencing is normal for a baby who has been adopted or whether he may need some support Flowers
