IMO adoption has nothing to do with it. I know of the 'primal wound' theory, but I think if it was the case adopted babies would be more fussy than bio babies, and as far as I know, it's not the case. Personally I think that the change of environment is probably more traumatizing than anything else, and I'm not sure how much they can hear about voices etc in the womb with all the noise in there.
I'm sure it's possible that the fear grows when they get older though, but it's our role to show them that we love them and we're not going anywhere... And honestly I've met a ton of bio kids that felt rejected by their parents also, so I think it has more to do with parenting than anything else.
