Particularly in the department of nature vs. nurture. I agree with Brian's opinion that "an individual is not made up of either one independently, but pieced together by different elements to make a whole" however, I wonder what differences the adopted child experiences from the child that ended up being cared for by the birthmother. If both children had been raised by differing parental care givers, would they share similarities or have as strong of a connection to one another. <br /><br />Another questions I have is, did the child that was still with biological parents know of their twin(?) and vice versa for the adopted child? I feel that twins, that are separated, are more likely to share their connection and see the similarities with one another if they had been aware of their existence. Meanwhile, twins that think of themselves as a single entity with no knowledge of their genetic duplication are more skeptical to sharing similarities with a "stranger" even if they are genetically identical.
