[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 225893"] I also think it is complicated and I also think the short answer is "both." However, lots of experience and observation tells me the real answer is that [B]nature [/B]has an [B]edge.[/B] I don't think many people want to "deal" with this. husband, I think has a good response... We have both an adopted child and bio child. Our bio child has some slight ADD difficulties. He has learned to cope well. Our adopted child has more difficulties. She has not learned to cope well....even though more effort has been put into her care. husband says that all we can do is [B]help difficult child be the very best difficult child she can be.[/B] Much of this, especially since she is past the age of 18, will be determined by her willingness to put care/effort into making good choices for herself. We can provide some assistance, but she has to make the decision to help herself and be the best person she can be with what limitations she may have been given. Perhaps this is the personality aspect of it. [/QUOTE]
