I saw it, and I don't disagree with your position. I am literally only showing you that the statement OP made that you put in bold did not say what you thought it said. You were building whatever case you had for the OP's homophobia on at least one misunderstanding.

The problem here is that the law does not allow you to write an adopted child out of your will like you can a blood child
Are you serious???? Can you not change your will as you wish????
To the OP, I'm a parent of 3 -- 22, 17, almost 14. We have no issues even remotely similar to yours BUT I would be inclined to do what I could emotionally for them but financially I would be done unless it was for true medical issues that you could SEE first hand and not just hear about in a phone call. If you've done what you know to do they do get to a point where their choices are just that .. THEIR choices.
Do you have other children? And best wishes for your family.

Tell that bitch she's grown and can live with you for free rent and food, but that's it. Perks of having a family and if you frick up its on you not us. Journal everything to, the bitch needs to remember

At what point does a parent tell their kid "good luck" with your life, but we will no longer be your ATM but will be here for you if you want a parent/child relationship and you are committed to sobriety?

By the way, on top of the addiction she is also a lesbian and keeps getting involved with girls who are also addicts and have emotional issues. The drama when the relationship fails usually ends up with our daughter relapsing or doing something else negative.

To those who made mean and sarcastic comments about drug use and adoption,
Try not to pay attention to them.. They are more than likely cynical children to begin with and probably have zero real world life experience that could add anything actually helpful anyway..

Have a friend who did what you're doing with their adult child for ten years. Finally cut her off. Didn't improve the kids situation but didn't make it any worse either. Have another friend same thing - their son stole, got arrested, fathered children with no means of support. No sense in wasting money on the problem, you could go broke and it probably wont ever be fixed. Move on as best you can and hope and pray for the best, try not to worry, you've done all you can do. Btw I know firsthand about abandonment issues having dealt with a person who was adopted. That person has caused trouble their whole life - not drugs but just made everyone in their life - family and friends - miserable with the most ridiculous drama and unbelievably mean and cruel personal attacks along with being unbearably controlling and manipulative of people who are trying to show this person love. Think about it; adopted kids probably did not come from the most responsible bio parents and they often inherit that. Hope this is helpful and Good Luck to you.

The good news is she is "only" 19 so there is still a chance she will figure it out on her own. A few months in jail might actually be good for her though, I knew people at that age that got arrested and did a little time and it totally turned their life around. I would always emotionally support her, you made that commitment when you adopted her, but the financial part is your call. Good luck!
