My mother is routinely late everywhere she goes so to really get her I always bring up that she was even late to her sons birth.

That is so cute!

How you doin?

---

I adopted my oldest son fwiw.

---

How old was he when you adopted him?

We adopted my son when he was 9.....he's 19 now. We still celebrate adoption day every year.

I would need to know the criminal background of each parent. A lot of behavior is genetic.

And don't ever adopt a foster child... something like 90 percent of them will be in jail at one point in their life

I'm trying to adopt a 13 year old black kid. 6'3" 240 lbs., can run the 40 in the low 4s

I don't know how you define "a lot", but most behavior is learned. And common sense should tell you that the foster child issue has more to do with the environment they grow up in, and be shuttled from place to place. The feelings of not being wanted or loved. Not genetics.

its pretty dead on though, unless you catch them early in the foster home cycle. Like maybe after their first or second home. Once they go through the system for a while though, they pretty much lose the ability to make personal connections and generally dont give a frick about people. I dont blame them to be honest, if I was treated like a free paycheck like a lot of these foster homes do I'd probably be more fricked up than I already am. And you can read the SECr and see that I am a pretty fricked up indivudual.
