I gotta feel for the Spielbergs on this
Adopted kids come with so much baggage sometimes all the love and money in the world cant fix them
If this young woman is borderline, then she’s put them through hell and back and since she’s an adult, they cannot make her choices for her
All they can do is love her and keep her as “ safe” as possible by not rejecting her
I believe that some of these choices and behaviors are genetically inherited, going to bet her birth mother had similar issues
Dont ask how I know all these things...but I do.
Sometimes the only peace that comes is deciding that whatever mission in life you were given regarding a child like this...is to try to love without judgement
“Adopted kids come with so much baggage sometimes all the love and money in the world cant fix them”
My best friend and his wife adopted two twin girls around 1 year old 30 years ago. Parents had drug issues and gave them up.
Those girls were never right from day 1 and eventually dropped out of school, promiscuity and drugs and my friend were ideal loving parents.
I remember telling my parents when the girls were 4 years old they were not right.
You understand.

I tend to agree with most of what you say, but our adopted kids rejected everything we did for them. They were adooted by my wife and her ex. When I came into the picture I did everything I could for them as if they were my own.
Their sociopathic behavior showed up in the boy at 12, and girls extreme issues happened at 11. I say it like that because we didnt notice the subtle signs at 8.
Their adopted dad chose to ignore it completely and they manipulated him to the point that he had them calling CPS on us for anything. He figured they would take them from us and he would collect support instead of paying it.
We struggled to get the boy to graduate HS and then he moved out. Bounced around for a couple years then came home. Then he joined the USMC and was kicked out of boot camp. That was in 2018 and we haven’t seen him since.
The girl finally got her wish the last time she called CPS on us. Not that we did anything, but we wouldn’t let her back in and thats been 4 years now.
We don’t hear from them and don’t really care what happens to them. But we do know they are with their dad and he is at the end of his rope with their crap.
He got what he deserved for never supporting us through 10+ years of therapy with them.
Yes. Most accurate post on here.
