“Why won't our adopted child eat?”
My husband and I adopted a 6 year old girl and she won't eat anything. Could this be shyness or indicate a digestive issue?

As long as she is not losing weight, then she may simply not require a lot of calories. If she is losing weight while not eating then she should be evaluated by a primary care physician or pediatric gastroenterologist. Weight loss or failure to reach height and weight milestones are the main thing to look for and seek evaluation for.
