[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 762301, member: 1550"] People can be born with challenges in their personalities, propensity to addiction, mental illness and their life circumstances MAY make them worse. Or not. Nobody knows for sure yet. Theories of the why of human behavior change fast and can not be scientifically proven yet. Adopted kids are seen in disproportionate numbers in psychiatrists offices. Adoption is a trauma, they say. I believe. But in all?Nobody knows. Our parenting doesn't affect our kids as much as their genes seem to. Ask any mother of an adopted kid who met her child's birthparents. "She even walks and talks and flicks her hair like this woman she never met before. She has bipolar like her birthmother!" If the birthparents are not functioning well, it seemsmore likely that our child, whom we raised to be functional, still will have problems functioning. Not helpful to blame yourself. Hugs and love.
