[QUOTE="keista, post: 535232, member: 11965"] I think nature definitely outweighs nurture, [B]BUT[/B] in my opinion nurture also has a [B]huge[/B] effect. Problem is, this is the kind of thing that really can't be studied. Those of you who adopted and are 100% certain that nature is "king", let me ask you this: Do you really believe that your nurture had zero impact on your difficult child? I don't. Of course, I can't prove my theory, because we can't take a grown person, go back in time and remove the positive nurture and see how much more screwed up they may end up. But in my opinion, no matter how lousy (for lack of a better term) your difficult child turned out, I think without positive nurture, I think it could have been worse. [/QUOTE]
