Jevad, your my hero!
Rule #1 - Do NOT feed him after midnight.
Rule #2 - Do NOT get him wet.
Rule #3 - Do NOT expose him to sunlight.
Jevad, will you have time for me ;o)

that's great news nic. I am so pleased that things have turned around so much for you.
it's a good lesson for everyone that no matter how dark things can get, you really never know what is around the corner.
you are giving this boy so much by doing this I really take my hat off to you.And now you need to get down to sorting out a few things like his accent, explain the one true football and the offside rule, get him drinking tea, help him develop a sense of humour and an ability to to spot sarcasm!
It's going to be awesome.
Good work fella!
To you and your wife.darren

I would look for books on raising adopted children. I would assume that knowing that he is loved and that he has a stable permanent home would be the most important thing.
I would encourage him to get involved in a wide range of activities to develop himself as a person as much as possible. Sports, musical instruments, etc. Teaching him to snowboard would be a great bonding experience with you that he will never forget.
Try to make a positive impact on his life in any way possible. Think about the areas in which your parents lacked in raising you and try to improve upon them.
I am sure with your professional knowledge and world experience you can encourage him so that he can grow up to be a successful adult in all aspects.
I would say don't try to force any one religious belief (or lack of belief) on him but rather be knowledgeable in various ideas and traditions and let him choose what feels right to him.
