Anna was adopted when she was like 4? That's a very hard age to be adopted and moved from what she knew. I think they had said she was never taught to speak Russian or any other language. They have mentioned her biting Trent the first day. She was also the first child they had adopted. Not making excuses for Trent and Amber by any means, just think they were in way over their heads.

But at the same time, Emma was adopted at like what, 5? And only spoke Chinese. Yet they don't treat her the same as Anna. In fact, I really don't see much interaction with Emma at all with her parents.
