When we were in China I had my first experience with Lucy and her rages. They were beyond a full-out temper tantrum, they were just a pure, old-fashioned rage. It was easiest to just restrain her in a hold unti they abated - if you didn't, she would go on to throw herself on the ground, throw up, bite, pinch and more.
I think all kids deal with the shock of adoption in different ways. Gwenn slept her way through all of the stress, Ella ate her way - and Lucy appears to be ragin' her way through the stress. The rages have slowed down - from 3-4x day to about 1 a week right now. Huge progress. However, when you are in the midst of the rage, it isn't all that fun...
