Peace, my husband is an adult adoptee who has now adopted. He was FAR more reluctant to adopt than I was -- he really wanted to have a bio kid because he had no other (known) bio links in the world. We have now adopted and he says he can't imagine not having our DD.
It has raised some issues, however....He is from a closed adoption, our DD from an open one. The whole a process has been somewhat "cathartic" for him...he now has "located" his birth mom (though he has not contacted her yet, not sure when/if he will, but I think so).
He thinks he is very "unique" (i.e., being an adoptee who has adopted!). I am glad to have his experiences to rely on as I raise DD, though sometimes he plays the "adoption card" with me (like he NECESSARILY knows better about things!).
