Have you known any families who adopted after their own kids were teens
(18)?
How did it work out?

Just curious...

My Aunt adopted a 15 year old girl for her same age daughter. She had 7 boys and 1 girl who always felt lonley. This girl made completed their life, but also made it so terrible. The lying never stopped, stole everything in site, but she completed her daughter who felt like she finally had a sister. Only after my cousin realized that she was there so stay, did she start to turn her life around. From her point of view, people were always throwing her back in and she felt resentful. She is very much a part of the family and feel what love and family is.
