True.

I know a family who adopted 10+ kids. Only one finished college and is a successful professional. The rest had drug and developmental issues and still rely heavily on their adoptive parents who are still working well into their 60s and 70s now. I'm just a friend, so I never or want to know, but I'm sure these are great people who are dead tired by now. But they've never complained about their adoptive children. They help them even well into adulthood without complaint through the rehabs, through helping their adoptive grandkids, just....always working in one way or another.

The mother of this whole family is in the hospital right now. She collapsed last week. Her husband is in tears and stuff. I don't think he'd live long if she dies.
