[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 382500, member: 3419"] Carolyn, we met the birthmom, her mother, the biodad and his mother. It never occurred to us that there was a mental health issue. The bmom and her mom fought like cats and dogs, but we assumed it was all the stress from having a pregnant teenager. Now that the yrs have gone by, and we have gotten to know them a bit better, we realize that there is a genetic component. We would never have figured that out at the time. So unless someone is hospitalized, there's really no way to tell. I can't blame the bmom or grandmother for being in denial. As very excited adoptive parents, we were in even bigger denial. FWIW.
