One thing i’ve realized is that it’s always impossible for the parent to balance the love properly, most parents have at least a little favoritism even among their biological children, and when a child who isn’t related by blood is added to the mix it only adds to the tension, either the bio or adopted kid is favored and the children can tell when that’s the case, and as someone who had jealous issues among my siblings i can’t imagine how it would feel knowing the other isn’t even related to you. It makes you question your whole life, like how can your mom not favor you even when she gave birth to me herself? In the end the mother shouldn’t have had a kid if she was going to treat him like the other orphans thats she’s raising, she even pushed him a bit farther away bc she knew the other kids could get jealous but that’s just wrong.
