[quote=Anonymous]I know quite a few families who adopted and only two treat their kids differently. One had infertility for years and eventually decided to give up and adopt. They hadn't really wanted to adopt but eventually decided that was their only option to be parents. Then maybe a year after the adoption, they got pregnant and ended up with two kids under 2. I am pretty sure they regretted the adoption as all they had ever wanted was their 'own' biological child. The adopted child also had some issues which I think made the difference between kids even larger. They weren't abusive but clearly favored one child and basically tolerated the adopted child. The other family actually returned their adopted child when they were 8 or 9. They had been adopted as a baby too. Awful situation. They had two younger bio kids and the older one didn't fit into the family. As terrible as it was to 'rehome' an 8 year old, better than growing up where you are unloved and unwanted.[/quote]
