[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't concede that "most" adopted kids (even internationally adopted) have "identity issues".  I have a number of close friends who were adopted.  Only one seems have any "issues" relating to her adoption.  The only people who seem to have the issues (per my friends) are their spouses, in-laws, occasionally friends, and too often strangers who feel they have the right to opine on what they should be or should have felt about their adoption. With that said, OP, if your child is struggling (whether the identity issues relates to his adoption or just the general angst of adolescence) you really need to get him some help.  It is prudent for you to interview what ever therapist your child sees and also to address your  own insecurities or fears about your child's development.  Best wishes for  you both.[/quote]

I agree.  I'm an Asian adoptee, though not a therapist.  I don't have any "issues."  Has adoption impacted my life?  Of course.  But identity issues? No.  OP, I wouldn't assume that all adoptees have such issues.[/quote]
