[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nature. I have a friend with an adopted child. They were adopted at birth. Parents are PhD professors/scientists; very proper and strait laced. Even at the age of 2, their child was drawn to cigarette butts in the ground and if we walked into a space smelling like cigarette smoke Or weed, they’d inhale and exclaim how much they loved that smell. As a teen now, to say there are a lot of challenges is an understatement [/quote] I second this. Our friends who adopted recently both hold masters degrees and graduated from prestigious universities. However, they are frequently addressing behavioral issues with their adopted child. Last week, they received a call that their child was throwing sand on the playground and and licking the metal playground equipment. Their child is 11. Despite their interventions, nature has prevailed. [/quote]
