Is it possible that your emotional health difficulties were a result of 
an inherited condition and had nothing to do with your adoption?

I was also adopted at 13 mos. of age, and told about my adoption when I 
was under 5 yrs of age but I had loving parents who did not make me feel 
unwanted, or to feel that I had been unwanted by my birthmother, or give 
me any reason to have emotional problems about it.  I never gave it a 
thought about why I had been adopted, but only knew that I had a home 
and a family.
