Try Another Castle - do you mind if I show a friend this information?
He is at University studying psychology and his area is effects on adopted children, he is the only one of four who is the biological son (happened the other way round for his parents, had one and couldn't concieve after)
His main interst is although his younger sisters and brother are adopted, they were all brought up exactly the same, yet you could not meet 3 more different people, they really are genetically made up with different emmotional problems, it's quite bizarre.
The middle child, a girl, has always been the focus of attention, it's all about her for some reason, she is a wild child/adult and her sister is a good girl, married, 2.4 children etc, yet the younger brother is also a wild child, yet he is not the chosen one, there seems to be no pattern with this
Both my parents are adopted, my dad has a brother who is a biological son who was always the favourite, my mum has an also adopted sister who was always the favourite - to a mental cruelty degree unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a pattern behind any of the favouritism issue
I love all of my own children the same, of course, I'd die for them all, but I have to admit, my daughter is very special to me in some way that the others aren't, the only girl? The only one who has never given me aggro? I don't know ... I can't explain it.
