[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 749762, member: 23706"] I didn't remember he was adopted. So is Kay. That alone has caused her to bring up that "You're not my real parents" and those are her words. She never really felt like part of our family although we spent so much time, attention and love on her to try to counteract how she said that she felt. In fact, my younger two, both biological, have memories of feeling like Kay got all of our attention. We have apologized to both but it was true. I think Kay has trouble attaching even though we got her very young. She is currently actively looking for her "real mother" and we are fine with that. But we both feel sad that she often says we are not her parents. I think adoption causes additional issues, not to mention that we didn't have a complete biological history on Kay. We have no idea if mental illness is in her DNA. Its so hard. [/QUOTE]
