Ah, nature v. nurture!
I think that it has to be a combination. My hips -- I definately got from my bmom. Other then that -- who knows. My sister (bio who was adopted with me at the same time) is so completely different then I am. So where does that come from. Experience affects your personality and judgment. But who is to say that my personality is any different then what it would have been if I hadn't been adopted. Sliding doors, you can fantasize and dream but you will never know what would have been.
Someone recently told me that my daughter was beginning to look like me. Really? Not the same race, no same facial features, not at all alike. So the thing that must be looking similar is our attitude. Great!! I have nobody to blame but myself for that then.
