[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 629186"] I too agree that nature performs the hardwiring... My h was raised by his bio mom who had primary custody of him at age 5 and beyond. He saw his bio dad every-other-weekend until age 8 or so when his dad & new family moved away. H has a 1/2 sister he met as a baby but then he did not see her for 20 odd years until she was married with kids of her own. Long story short- h and his half sister are incredibly alike. They look alike, talk alike, have the same cadences, mannerisms, and use the same phrases. They have the same values and work ethics and a stranger would think they were raised as best friends. She has 4 boys, we have 3 and our children look and act like brothers- even though they have met only a few times. In fact, my pc17 looks just like his Aunti K. Interestingly enough, neither one of them were raised by their shared father - Ks mom ended up raising her with her older kids after they got divorced. My h is nothing like his full bio brother with- whom he was raised and K is nothing like her maternal half siblings with whom she was raised. Yet she and her 1/2 sibling - my h- are almost the same person! It's all genetics and it's unbelievable until you're in the same room with them. [/QUOTE]
