Not to be discouraging but I agree your not ready for adoption. If words can close your heart to your child you should hold off. My 5 year old told me he wanted to put me in the garbage can when I took away a priveledge-is it because he's adopted-NO - will he use hurtful words when he's older - YES - adopted or not.

You teach your children by example, words & emotions - if you don't feel an adopted child is your "real" child you shouldn't adopt at this time. Parenting is about the child not you; if your geared up for rejection you will be rejected.
