My adoptive parents were told that "If you treat it like one of your own, it will grow to be like you"!!!! -I don't think they were meaning me, in particular, more generalizing- but I believe this to have been the mind set of those organizing adoptions between the end of the war and the early 60's. It was a stricture which often led to great unhappiness and disillusionment for both parents and children.
