[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 717802, member: 1550"] Pictures mean nothing. None of my kids like to be in pictures so I dont have as many as I would like. Also it is easier to like (which is different than love) a child who is warm and affectionate than a more aloof child (most teens). If we are honest, usually we connect better with certain children, but that does not mean we love any of them any less. Dont automatically buy that this young woman was mistreated. She is a stranger. You have no idea what her motive is for coming forward. Is your husband a good provider? Guard your heart. You do not know this young woman. She was adopted as an older child...she has been tossed around. Hub should get to know her well before immersing her in the family. Is she honest, kind, loving? Does she eventually show anger, resentment? Does she tend to be entitled? Would she steak, use drugs, does she work? Is she safe? She is going to have issues, but may be very good at hiding them for a while. In adoption world, this is called the honeymoon period. The calm before the storm. Please be careful. Your children need protection until you know much more. [/QUOTE]
