Yes, I have felt this way. In my situation, DD's birthfamily could have easily raised her in a wonderful environment, plenty of financial resources, love, etc. They're wonderful people. So, I have felt like I had to live up to their family somehow.
I probably would've still felt a responsibility to "get it right" even if it had been a CA. I think that sometimes, a lot more thought goes into adopting than getting pregnant (you can't just decide one night with your DH to have a baby and nine months later, pop). Also, most of my friends who got pregnant didn't have to list before conception how they would be disciplining their child, what they wanted their child to acheive, etc.
