[quote=Anonymous] Teen years can be hard for any kid, but it is unrealistic to think that being adopted with three natural siblings is probably not a factor as this boy defines his identity. OP and DH are on the right track in finding a competent therapist for their son and they, too, will need some counseling in how to work with him during the turbulence which can come wit ODD. My sister's middle child was adopted and about the same age she had some a really difficult time - imagine also being the only adopted grandchild of 20 youngsters, most of whom lived in the immediate area. Her folks actually moved school districts in the Boston area to be sure she got the services she needed. She is now mid-20s, college grad and very well settled as a person, but it was a bumpy period for a time as a teen.[/quote]
