[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 749773, member: 23706"] I thought nurture was the key. Kay is NOTHING like the rest of us from interests to her loudness in our very quiet, polite family, to her talents to her more negative traits. We raised a child who is almost the opposite of our academically motivated, hard working, quiet, athletic, slow to erupt family. She is loud, laughs very loud even in public places, often rude, musical, artistic and on the extreme end of lazy. She has smarts, but never used them to succeed on her own. To me, after having a group of friends who also adopted young from the same country, it seems DNA is hardwired into the brain. We are all struggling, some more than others. It is something we are not told to consider before we adopt. We thought love fixes everything. Clearly love is low down on what makes a person tick. Love is a plus. Maybe without it they would be even worse off, but at least my daughter has not become loving or productive. Breaks our hearts. [/QUOTE]
