Just speaking from my own experience... I have 1 bio child and 1 adopted child. My bio son had big issues with separation anxiety (and still does a bit at 6.5yo). By contrast, my (adopted) daughter who is still young, 1 year old, but has shown very little issues with separation anxiety. In my opinion, most kids go through it at some point eventually. But the duration and intensity has A LOT to do with the child personality and temperment; and possibly some degree to parenting practices/handling of the anxiety.
