[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 367762, member: 1550"] A lot of adopted kids were exposed tod rugs and alcohol in utero or were adopted at older ages (which can cause MANY issues). The birthparents tend to be more prone to mental illness, which is passed along a lot of the time. If the child was exposed to substances or had mentally ill birthparents...the genes they carry or THEIR genes and the damage caused by outside substances was there way before we got the children. On the flip side, my most normal, best adjusted child is adopted, BUT I knew her birthparents and her birthmother did not use any drugs or alcohol and was a very stable person as well. She made a very thoughtful decision to place the baby for adoption and my daughter knows I love her birthmother. Her birthfather is a drug addict, but, while she looks more like him, she is just as sweet and wonderful as her birthmother. The other kids I adopted...I have very little knowledge of their backgrounds. Two were adopted abroad. [/QUOTE]
