Yes my son is adopted. We were blessed with him on Dec. 22, 1990. He was only two days old. We have never had any problems, so I don't know why someone would tell you that. He is the joy of our lives and couldn't ask for a better son. He looks so much like my husband it is unreal. Walks like his dad and some mannerisms, but is picky like (me) his mom, smart like his mom and well just an all around good boy........
