I too was excited to see this! My husband and I adopted 6 daughters from the foster care system. They have put us through hell. Sadly. We are estranged from 3 of the 6 (2 of them are still young). The 3 are bio sisters.

My husband and I adopted his niece when she was 15 months old. His half-sister is the biomom. I have not talk to her since she ran away to another state one month before her 15th birthday to live with her biomom. She has repeatedly told everyone, family members that she hates me and she wishes I was dead. After she ran away, she went to juvenile detention for assault and battery on her biomom. Biomom sent her to live with biodad's grandmother and the biodad began raping her when she was 16. Got her pregnant at 17 and made her get an abortion to hide evidence of the rape/incest. My AD has told her aunt that she is "in love" with him even after he beat her and broke her nose. But, she hates me. Last week she tried to contact our 16 yo daughter (she is our biological child) on FB and she has tried to follow her on Instagram. Social media was how the sexual predator biodad lured my AD away, so I don't want her trying to do the same thing to my daughter who is a well-adjusted, honor roll student and athlete. My AD is hooked on drugs thanks to the rapist and has been diagnosed for bipolar since 15 but does not take medication for it, unless marijuana counts. Anyway, my husband and I gave this child everything, took her to countless specialists, therapists, treatment, and got her the best of everything for her learning disability to dance lessons. But, most of all, we showed her unconditional love and all she ever did is take and now she's trying to take my child away from me. We live in PA and she lives 8 hours away in OH, but with FB, IG, Snapchat, it might as well be next door. I don't know what she's doing for money but it is either illegal, unethical or immoral. She is a pathological liar so you can't believe anything she says is true. She claims to work at a hotel, which might be housekeeper, desk clerk or call girl given her history of lying and manipulation. Also, she was in treatment for porn addiction before she ran away from home. I'm still hurting from all the pain she's caused now she's trying to stir things up again. I am so upset and I don't know what to do or who do turn to. I know if I tell her to stay away from my daughter, she'll try to lure her into her lifestyle just to spite me.

I am so sorry to hear your story. But know that you are not alone. What kind of relationship did your AD and BD have prior to her leaving?

I just joined this morning. I have gradually been estranged from my adoptive daughter. We adopted her from India when she was almost 9 years old. Almost every single day was a struggle. She was diagnosed with oppositional-defiant disorder. My ex-husband wanted to move back to his home country, so we up and moved nine months after the adoption. I worked my butt off to try and make things work. We also have a bio daughter, born before we decided to adopt.

My adoptive daughter is 24 as of yesterday. Had a baby a year ago. Her boyfriend and his family are very supportive of her, but they totally buy into her "poor orphan" construct and have refused to meet me.... My daughter has never developed a work ethic, and lies, cheats and steals, at least she did. Maybe her baby has helped her to grow up, but apparently she thinks I am the root of all her problems. My question is - is this common? She's now busy trying to suck in my bio daughter into this drama and puts her right in the middle. My ex just remarried and is playing Mr. Switzerland, not interested in helping defend me or tell her boyfriend's family the truth. I moved back to the US in 2010 with my bio daughter so the physical distance doesn't help. I feel the only choice is to just let go... I'm so afraid my adoptive daughter will struggle with parenting once the baby gets older as she's got no moral compass and is still lying.
