[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 427506, member: 1550"] My guess is there is some drug use going on. Have you checked her room when she isn't there? Many shy kids, adopted or not, tend to use drugs as teens if they feel insecure or socially inept. This can cause very suddenly changes in the child. That's what happened with our oldest daughter. My youngest daughter, who is fourteen, is very well behaved and we are very close. We talk about adoption whenever she wants to. She feels that being adopted is a special need. I do think it needs to be addressed by an adoption therapist, if she feels the need to discuss it. I think it is healthy to do that. But not all therapists understand adoptees. However, I also doubt that this is the whole issue. Plenty of adoptees do fine during their teen years. I only had one who did not and she straightened out on her own. [/QUOTE]
