I am so unsure about wanting to adopt, despite knowing the joy I brought to a family 18 years ago. Am I selfish?

i placed my first daughter 23 years ago.... I did go on to have 3 biological daughters.... but before we felt like we were "done", it became apparent that we were biologically done.... since, we really wanted one more, we decided to pursue adoption.... and have adopted our last daughter....
and although, i have seriously felt "complete" after adding her to the family, i am actually feeling the pull to add one more... yikes!
personally, i think the answer to your question lies in the question itself....
do you think anyone who is unsure about bringing a child into their family (no matter through adoption or biology) should actually bring that baby in if they are unsure?
i think parenting is tough... no matter how they arrive... with the arrival of each baby, both my husband and i were fortunate to be "sure" that each baby was wanted.... whether biological ... or adopted... it was important we were both 100% on board.... and sure of our choice....
