[QUOTE="roxy, post: 520232, member: 8571"] I don't post here much but have lurked over a period of quite a few years and post from time to time. JJJ, I too thought it was about genetics, until I was slammed back to earth with a difficult child born of my own body. I was a hard working rule following easy child, as was my husband. We have PhD's, as do my parents and my other daughter (well she's getting one). And I got a difficult child who is not only a slow learner, but also a non-rule follower. So don't think it's all because you CHOSE to adopt. Genetics can also throw you for a loop. I sometimes feel cheated too, or guilty that I gave birth to a kid that is going to be a burden on someone after we are gone. Maybe it will help you to realize that anyone can be given these children. It isn't "the others" who mess up the world by giving birth to difficult child's. [/QUOTE]
