In my case, I've had the opposite situation, where my child's adoptive parents have indicated very strongly that he gets his talents and personality from me. Now, I KNOW, he's also gotten other traits that may be not so desireable from me, but they don't mention that. They seem to be very humble about their contributions to his personality and success, but I can clearly see where their parenting has greatly influenced and benefitted him, and where their ability to provide him with so much has allowed his natural, inherited talents and personality traits to flourish, and for new ones to develop under their influence. I see it as more a "team effort."
