[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a neighbor that has a biological child and an adopted child. There is a clear difference in how they are treated. The biological child was cooed and loved and hugged held and photographed etc. etc. The adoptive child is often left alone, penned, gated, etc. Nothing abusive (I think), but just treated differently. Is this typical or a result of human nature? [/quote]

It was completely opposite in my house. I am the only bio child of my parents and my two younger siblings are adopted (not related). As soon  as my first younger sibling joined our family when I was 6, my parents revolved their entire world around my sister, and then over my brother and sister when he arrived 5 years later. I basically had to raise myself. I was also left with the responsibility of providing their childcare as a middle and high schooler all of the time. My mother still to this day is obsessed with the two of them, and recently told me that I should be prepared to not receive any inheritance when she dies because my siblings were getting everything. I wasn't surprised at all.[/quote]
