[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 427625, member: 1550"] Hi. I see that your child was adopted. I adopted four kids and have a few questions that could help all of us try to help you. First of all, was your child adopted as an infant? If so, did his birthmother take drugs or drink while she was pregnant? This question is MAJOR. Does she or the birthfather have any serioius behavioral problems or mental health issues (or both). In my adoption group, we have found, kind of to our amusement, that our adopted kids resemble their birthparents more than us even when they have never met them. A lot of temperament seems to us (this hardy group of adoptive parents) to be inherited. Also, older adopted children usually suffer from some form of attachment problems. The attachment problems can cause some extremely serious behavior. Did your child have any delays or quirks when he was younger and now? Any obsessions? Can he transition from one activity to another without raging? Does he know how to relate to his same age peers? Adopted kids are more complicated t han biological kids because often we just don't know that much about the background. I don't want to totally discourage you. My older adopted kids are doing great and I am extremely close to both of my adopted daughters. I am closer to them than to my biological son. [/QUOTE]
