First of all, congratulations!! I can imagine how excited you are.
One of the first things to invest in: a rocking chair! A 15 months old little boy can be quite heavy, and it's a wonderful place to relax bond with your son. Also, read the book "Weaver's Craft - Toddler Adoption". It's a big help in understanding what the little guy might be going through.
You will definitely need a good moisturizing lotion for his skin, and in my experience, if you see a black lady at a store, ask her about what products she might recommend. I don't live in the US, so I can't make a recommendation of what's good and what's not.
Also, don't over-buy, because you don't know what will work for him.
For my son's hair and skin I like olive oil products.
There are many very helpful people here on this forum, who will surely be able to tell you.
:) Again, good luck!

Be sure to only wash his hair NO MORE THAN every 5-7 days. If you do it more than that his hair and scalp can become very dry. Olive oil hair care products tend to work well but if you check out [URL="http://www.curls.biz"]This site[/URL] They will have the names of some specific products.
