I don't know of any adoptive parents who stress themselves out much more than they would anyway just because they adopted the child and want to show that they are just as good at parenting as the bmom would have been.
As a foster mom, however, I think I do put more pressure on myself and worry over little things more than I normally would. Why? Simply because there are people checking up on me at least monthly and deciding whether or not I am doing a good enough job. I'm trying to get better at relaxing abit, but I do worry when things go less than perfectly.
