[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you can absolutely love someone not biologically related. aren't many of you married? don't you love your spouses?

i adopted a two year old and she is difficult. i love her and give her the world but i do wonder if i would feel differently towards her if she were biologically  mine.[/quote]

I am an stepmom and an adoptive mom.  My husband's kids are much older.  While I care for them, since they were not raised in our him, I do not love them the same way I love our two child.  I do for them the same as our kids, I treat them the same (they are adults now so same is relative), etc. but I do not have the same feelings for them as I do my own.  I am madly in love with my children from adoption.  They are my "perfect" children..  Sure, they have some health and other issues that are probably genetic but reality is if I gave birth to them, they could have had the same issues.  My husband said his biological kids were far more difficult at this age.  It is very child and family specific.[/quote]
