What were your concerns re. adoption

My DH and I are discussing starting the adoption process next year in hopes to save money this year. I am also pregnant and would like our newborn to be a little older when we come home with our little angel.

I have been discussing the adoption with some friends and family and mostly everyone says "what if you feel differently about the adopted child than your two biological children." I have to say I am not too concerned about this. I believe that all 3 children are MY children no matter how they come to me.....However was this a concern for any of you? Did it take awhile to bond with your adopted angel over your biological angels?

Lastly did you have any other concerns about adopting? It kind of concerns me that I kind of see things different than others and I don't have many concerns about it. I believe all three children would grow up as sisters and brothers (or sisters) and all three would be happy...maybe I'm just being naive and this is why i'm asking.

Thanks
