[quote=Anonymous]That is true for a child who did not speak the language prior to adoption. It is not true for a child who had the language and needs to continue to hear the language to keep from losing all connection to the language. The situation initially referenced was a child who was adopted post verbal and whose parents did not insure sufficient exposure to the child's language for the child to keep at least some of his/her native tongue. There is definitely a difference between pre and post-verbal language acquisition/retention. [/quote]
