[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 678601, member: 16024"] I forgot about my bio-dad's adopted daughter. Make that six siblings that have never lived on their own, as a 'normal' self-supporting, rent-paying, utility-paying, bill-paying, taking-care-of-their-business, adult. I don't know what the ratio is between nature and nurture (and since nurture didn't happen very well with most of the step-siblings anyway) but I can say this: after thinking about it, my mom's bio-kids and my bio-dad's bio kids are doing well. My adopted and step-sibs of dubious parentage, not nearly as well. Some are doing OK, many not. Some have one decent parent, some neither. It is very sad. My mom always blamed the foster-care system for many of their problems. Not sure if the outcome would have been different or not. [/QUOTE]
