[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 579187, member: 1550"] Makes sense that adoptees have more issues, beyond just the fact that they are adopted. Many had parents who did not take good care of themselves while pregnant (drug abuse/drinking/lack of prenatal care). Most biological parents are immature and difficult child's themselves thus pass along mental health issues and predisposition to alcohol/drug abuse. I know many adoptive parents who have met their children's birthparents and almost all say that they are more like the bio. parents than like them. DNA is huge!!! Like I said in another post, it is almost inevitable that personality disorders, like most other mental illnesses, will turn out to be genetic in the end. I really hate the idea of blaming the parents for these things. Good for NAMI for encouraging the parents to stop feeling guilty!!! [/QUOTE]
