[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 535192"] One of the things I have thought and realized for a long time is that if my difficult child had grown up in his bio family or worse yet the foster care system he might not have survived this long. Being raised by us helped him in many ways and gave him more internal resources than he might have had otherwise... however he is still a mess even so. I think many many kids have issues from all sorts of things so it is hard to assess how many adoptees have problems, and now much of those problems are related to adoption. I do think though that when you look at the health care systems, jails etc. that a disporportionate # are adoptees... and so adoptions definitely is a big factor. What is hard to determine is why that is? Is it because of the psychic pain adoption causes... or is it also the fact that those most likely to be in a situtation of an unplanned pregnancy (especially these days with allt he birth control options) are more likely to be people who are a mess themselves?
