[quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a DD17 who came to our family through adoption, I recognize the sentiments this teen is expressing. Many--though certainly not all--adoptees struggle with uncomfortable feelings about the decisions about their lives that were made for them. Some kids act out by rejecting adult authority in all its forms; some have ongoing trust issues; and some ruminate over what could have been. OP, it's not your place to argue with these feelings. Listen to this teen and be the safe space for him to express these feelings.[/quote]
