[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 749322, member: 24089"] For what it is worth, I am adopted. I put my parents through the ringer for a short period of time during my teenage years (and let me tell you, I REALLY packed it in), but then my life evened out, I got married, had children, and have a very close relationship with my parents. I have children of my own and my once child (my CD child) has been having issues for nearly 15 years now, and about 12 of them have been extremely difficult. I can't tell you how many times I've felt guilt for the pain I put my parents through when I was a teenager, but and when I apologize again and again to them, they remind me that I have brought them much more joy than pain. It is good to hear because I still feel rotten about it. They do not regret adopting me. I think each case is different. Two of my very close friends adopted specifically because they knew me and felt comfort and inspired by my situation. Both of them could be members of this forum, both of them for 1 of their adopted children! Life is a bit of a crapshoot, eh? [/QUOTE]
