[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 cousins who are adopted (not by the same aunt and uncle). One is perfectly happy, the other carries some hurt and resentment. I have no idea what made the difference. To be clear, the hurt cousin is a generally happy and functional person. This doesn't define him, or absorb his every thought, but it's there. An underlying hurt and anger when he thinks about it. He is, however, glad to be alive and loves his adoptive parents. But he struggles with understanding why his biological parents gave him up. It was not an open adoption but he is aware that his bio mother was young (I believe in high school). Interestingly, he has a lot more anger towards his bio father, who we don't really know anything about. Neither cousin has any interest in finding their bio family. [/quote]
