[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 384002"] I agree with what MWM said...but would add that recently I read that adopted kids seem to have a higher incidence of borderline and the cause is 'unknown.' by the way, our adopted adult daughter difficult child had a good friend (also adopted) that met a young man and within a few days of meeting with him, drove across country to set up house with him...everyone was frantic. She came home...all is ok...but it was an eye opener. Our difficult child has VERY odd relationships...both with guys and girlfriends. And she has always been envious of her brother's successes....never putting together that he plans and then works very hard to achieve his goals. It seems that these kids are searching for the love and stability that they never felt they had or deserved. Their perception of the situation is often warped...negative...out of touch. And worse than anything, they don't seem to love themselves. And of course, as we most of us highly suspect with many of our adopted children, there could be some sort of biological issue involving mental illness. [/QUOTE]
