If you have the option, would you want your next child to be biological or adopted?

My DH and I are pretty busy with our three very young kiddos. And we may very well be done with three. But its still fun to fantisize about having more. I'll be 34 this year. Not old certainly but old enough to feel like the clock is ticking on my option to have another bio child. I'm not sure I would want one but just feel a little sad at seeing the opportunity slip away. My DH and I also seem to be getting more and more attached to the idea of adopting an older child someday when our kids are in their late teens. And then there's the constant itch in the back of our minds wondering whether our kids' birthmom will have another baby. She had our daughter and son about 13 months apart. Our son is now 12 months old and we don't know anyone who's had any contact with his birthmom in 10 months. I truly don't know what we would do if we got THAT call tomorrow. So I'm just not sure where we're headed. I suppose I should wait until more than one of my three kids can walk to put more serious thought into it.
