[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 726488, member: 20727"] I normally would agree with you SWOT, I know many adoptive families and they are 100% wonderful parents taking on these kids that are damaged due to the bio-parents neglect. There's always that 1% that really should of never adopted children though and unfortunately I think daughters parents are that 1%. The more Ive talked to the mom the more I can see that she really hasn't ever been a priority to them. More of a everyone else was having kids and they needed one as well to keep up. Their bio-child that came later went to private school, daughter went to public school because " her IQ wasn't high enough for them to waste their hard earned money on that type of investment" (her mothers words to me). Daughter was also allowed to drop out of high school at 16 due to bullying because her mother said 'it wasn't worth fighting if shes not going to make it through college anyway". They didn't find out she was dyslexic until she was 15, until then they just accepted the fact she had a "learning problem" and it wasn't worth the effort to teach her. She also needs glasses (no surprise all my kids and their dad do) but her mom told her they look ugly so she would never wear them. Her mother also always told her she was fat, and would purposefully buy her clothes 2 sizes to small to "encourage her" to lose weight. by the way shes like a size 8 and only 5' tall. shes far from fat.
