In my case, I adopted a sibling group of 3 and I had a bio daughter with mental retardation, so it's a much different situation from most. My bio daughter is very attached to her sisters and it has been very hard for her to lose the 2 older ones within 7 months of each other.
I did not expect my 3 adopted daughters to attach to my bio daughter as much as to one another, but I did think they were attached to one another. What has been hard is that they walked away and won't answer messages, email, or letters from their 14 yo sister either. I thought that, at least, they would be attached to her because they went through so much together.

i'm not sure if this is a question for moms or the adoptees.
anyways..
how do your adopted kids react with your natural born kinds?? is there any sort of separation among them at all??

It's sort of strange for me. I have two adoptive siblings. And we all go through periods of time where we either can handle each other or not. I don't know why that is.
