[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 533569, member: 11791"] The whole "looks" thing? Can it. Permanently. I have an adopted bro, and a bio-bro. Less than a year apart in age. Until they were well into teens, they looked more - MUCH more - alike, than any of the rest of us in our immediate OR extended family. And not a single shared gene. I know another family with a boy and a girl - one bio and one adopted... and it's the adopted one who is always being commented on for the striking family resemblance. There's other families where there is "genetic throwback"... where recessive genes that have been hidden for a number of generations, show up. I get it that this is a really sensitive spot, and not exactly easy in the old self-concept... but... it ain't about looks. [/QUOTE]
