Create a plan to give yourself some relief from the stress that will come in the beginning. Have a time set up each evening when your DH can take the baby and you can have some alone time. I journaled - and it helped to put things down on paper. Plus, when I would go back and read it (especially on bad days) - it helped me realize I really had come a long way, even when it didn't feel that way. I think just being mentally prepared for what may come is the good first step. And, don't blame this all on adoption - it can become a crutch. If you struggle - it is highly probable you would struggle with a bio as well.
Good luck!
