Ohhhh, this has not been my experience! My son, especially, has a LOT of anger (or "mad"
) towards his bio mom. At 3 years we are STILL working through it! I guess it maybe depends on the age of the child?
Although I am constantly surprised at my daughter, who had just turned 4 when placed with me, her memories of her bio mom are mostly only the negative ones. I would have thought after so long that human nature, being what it is, would dictate remembering good things. On one hand I am kind of glad that she not romanticize the bio mom too much (drugs, abuse, prostitution, etc. all the sudden becoming good things!), but on the other hand I am a little sad for her to not remember the times that were good and I know there were some, because I know that their bio mother LOVED them. She just made some very poor choices and was not strong enough to overcome addiction
