Update

We have decided to retain M and have him do Kindergarten again next year. We've been going back and forth on this decision but the school was finally on board. He will however be switching to the other Kindergarten teacher so that he thinks he is going somewhere new. I told him the other day and he seemed okay with it...had some questions for me but hasn't mentioned it again.

We have also gotten M an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for next year. He will be getting help in math and reading everyday in the resource room as well as some speech help a couple of times a week. They will also be helping the regular classroom teacher everyday to help implement some things to make him successful. Hopefully with this extra help he will begin to understand some of the kindergarten concepts and be able to go to 1st grade next year!

I am also running into some problems trying to get a psych eval done on M as well. We are trying to move him into a higher category of care but this needs to be done before I can move any further with the adoption (meaning if I don't get this done we will have to postpone the adoption to a later date...). I am frustrated, overwhelmed, and stressed out but hopefully everything will fall into place so we can make the kids ours sooner than later!
