Are adopted children harder to raise?

Answer 1

I will be very frank with you.

I was an adopted child, and I have 3 adopted siblings. Yes we are very very very difficult to raise. I eventually grew out of my problems but some never do. My advice to you is, if you choose to adopt, be very wise. I suggest a 100% closed adoption, and do not adopted severely neglected children. Also a warning... when they are older, I guarantee the birth family will come back into the picture. So be aware of that and the implications it WILL have on your family.

Adoption is a wonderful thing but don't go into it blindly.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. The challenges of raising an adopted child can vary depending on individual circumstances and the child's background. Adoption may come with unique considerations such as developmental delays, trauma, or attachment issues, but with appropriate support, love, and understanding, adopted children can thrive just like any other child.
