Numerous personality studies on adoption found that adopted children's personalities resemble their biological parents more than their adoptive parents, even if the latter were the ones who reared them.
Adoption
By adopting someone, usually a child, one assumes the responsibility of parenting that person's biological or legal parent or parents. Through legal adoption, the biological parents' rights, obligations, and filiation are permanently transferred to the adoptive parents.
Adoption is intended to cause a permanent change in status, unlike guardianship or other institutions created for the care of the young, and as such requires society acceptance, either through legal or religious permission. In the past, certain civilizations have passed particular adoption laws, while others have employed less formal methods (notably contracts that specified inheritance rights and parental responsibilities without an accompanying transfer of filiation). Modern adoption practices, which emerged in the 20th century, are frequently governed by extensive laws and rules.
