Can you extend that observation to the adopted kids you know? The adopted children I know are far less like their parents than the biological children I know.

Can you extend that observation to the adopted kids you know? The adopted children I know are far less like their parents than the biological children I know. Granted, the adopted children I know were not implanted in their adopted mothers' wombs, so it's not a perfect comparison, but I definitely think it's worth thinking about. Observation about parents and children who are biologically related doesn't seem to me to be particularly informative when thinking about nature and nurture.
- thismat 17y agoActually one of my children I am not the father of, and he's already quite a bit like me.
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoSame here. My son is adopted (by me): he's my wife's biological son and it's amazing (for good or bad :-) how much like me he is. ps, Someone upvote parent please: I accidentally downvoted thismat.
