[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686488, member: 1550"] But you cant just go by you. You are but one and inherited your genes from perhaps a different relatuve. Not everyone is hit with the bad genes. Those who are...they are the kids here. Can they change? Sure,with hard work,treatment and a commitment. Adoptive parents who have met their childrens birthparents are usually appalled by how much their children,who never knew them, are like them down to gestures they make that they have never seen Eviroment matters. Sonics hates and would never take drugs. But ill bet if I met his family, I would see a lot of him in them, including autism. But they lived in extreme poverty. Sonic didnt want for anything and had so much intervrntion. Ill bet sonics birthparents were sweeter than sweet, forced to do things middle class America don't ever contemplate because they dont have to. We could if we were born there. Yet many of our adopted kids and kids who have bad stuff in their backgounds genetically, still often follow the DNA. All it takes is marrying a bad man and making a baby with him. Child may act just like that man and little like us. So genetics are huge, but can be overcome by hard workers. Your personality and values change if you work at it constantly and decide your values are not right. So there is hope for those who grab that hope. [/QUOTE]
