[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759858, member: 23706"] The magic 18 will come when the kid can see whoever he or she wants. This isn't our choice. I'm glad to read a happy ending. Honestly I don't like to talk about adoption anymore. Everyone seems to have a horror story. The support group I belonged to was very depressing once the high school years began. I dropped out and hoped. Also adoption is not yet culturally accepted as much as we adotive.parents feel the love in our hearts. Can't tell you how many well meaning nice people had asked me, when we first had Kay "So can't you have kids of YOUR OWN?" Also later on friends would say ",Well, at least you have two of YOUR OWN." If that's a common view of adoption, no wonder adopted kids have so many issues and get into more trouble. There is a lot of emphasis placed on biology. And in our case......Kay does seem to have been affected more by biology than nurture. It's so hard. [/QUOTE]
