I had my son (bio) first, and then adopted my beautiful little girl six years later. She is now 3.5, and my son is 9 1/2. My son has been the one who tends to get jealous/envious of her ("She gets all the attention, etc.") They both fight for my attention (at the same time of course). If one is hugging me, the other one will jump on my back, or try to push the other one off, etc. Or it's the "She hit me" "He hit me" game. But they do love and adore one another. I'd say it's pretty much your typical sibling rivalry around here.
All I can say is that I certainly hope my daughter will never feel like she doesn't fit in. She has brought so much joy, warmth and happiness into our lives. She is our little princess and you can bet she knows it! lol.
