I'm a Korean Holt adoptee and some of the comments following the article are quite funny to me. My parents love me as much as they would any biological child. I think that we'd like to imagine that nurture plays are larger role in what happens, but I do believe what the article is trying to say. I was adopted into a lower income family and I have an MBA from a great school and am currently in med school. My income has been (after my MBA/before I started med school) and will be quite a bit larger than my family's. They did a great job raising me, but I didn't have all "advantages" (whatever they may be) of being raised in a more affluent family. A lot of who we are is decided before we are born. However, I do believe that our parents can help us to make the most of what we are given, whether they are our biological parents or not.
