Can ADD/Oppositional etc be Passed Down to Birth Children

I have a question about oppositional/ADD etc. behaviors. I was bounced around a fostercare situation as a child, from age 9 - 16 yrs. I was never diagnosed with ADD or Oppositional stuff but could not concentrate had depression etc in H igh school, graduated from HS and college though. I have been through a lot of therapy and group sessions and have a somewhat healthy 19 year marriage. Can I unavoidably pass down my anger and resentment issues toward being abandoned, being snubbed by birth relatives and the like to my own children? I know that these things are deep and I am aware of them, but I have heard someone say that ADD and the like can be from family dysfunction. Is that true?
