[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 673728, member: 1550"] Was she adopted as an infant? Is your community almost all white? Either way, all adoptees, like all children, are different. I've been in foster care and adoption and the kids are not at all the same. Some cope better. Like all kids, some are happy, some not. Some do drugs, some don't. I think it's best to adopt infants. Have had my experiences (two) with older adoptees and neither turned out well. One had to leave the house as he was dangerous to my younger two kids (in the worst sort of way). We adopted him at eleven. One was adopted at six. It is hard when we don't know anything about bio. parents, I think. We don't know then where the attitude or behavior is coming from. And it doesn't matter anyway now. The issue is the addiction... Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
