I think everyone has made some great points. I will add that my own bio child was not completely potty trained until she was almost 4 because of some things that had happened unexpentantly and she needed speech therapy from the time she was 5-7. She is now a wonderful, beautiful and very intelligent 17 yr old. You could be dealing with this regardless of how you are blessed with your children. You need to follow your heart and not listen to others. My own parents who fostered for a few years while growing up have questioned me about our adoption process and I just look at them and tell them that we have had plenty of time to think about things(2yrs) and we are still proceeding so yes we have thought it out and we know it is right for us.
