Do others have trouble deciding if adoption is right for them?

My husband and I have 3 biological children and want to add a 4th. We have been talking about adoption this time, but we are having trouble making the decision to do this. I keep seeing shows or hearing stories about kids that have medical issues that were unknown at adoption, or kids that have caused major disruptions in their new family. Are things like this common? We would want to adopt a healthy infant from Bulgaria. Is it likely that we would run into medical or emotional issues? If we adopted the child at around 18 mos old, would that eliminate the possibility of RAD?

Please share your thoughts with us. Any input, good or bad would be great.
