Of course, this is the same adjustment that all kids go through when they are adjusting to a new sibling.

I guess what scares me most is that I know that my son will change because of this. And I kind of think he's pretty perfect now. And knowing that this will cause a big change may make me feel responsible/guilty for that change.

But honestly, God has been so wonderful to my family, I have no cause to doubt him. I know he will be gracious to us again.

Oh my goodness, I know EXACTLY what you mean! When we decided to go forward with the adoption(very unexpected) I was so worried about the ramifications it would have on our 2 children.
It amazes me at how fast and how deeply my kids fell for their new brother. Even when we kept telling them that he wasn't ours, they treated him just like a brother.
Our youngest was only 2 1/2 when we brought H home, our oldest just turned 7. The youngest one was telling waitresses and anyone that would listen that the baby was HIS!
After our adoption was complete we actually took in our ason's bsister for a month. She was almost 2 at the time. My oldest dd was devestated that she couldn't be her sister. Over a year later and she still talks about wanting to bring the little girl back home to us.
I tell you all of this because it sounds like your son is going to be just like my kids were, very accepting and happy with the new addition.
Yes, things will change, but it will most likely be for the good!!!!!
God is indeed in Control! He will not lead you astray. If you have prayed about this and you know this is HIS WILL, then there is no way the change won't be for the BEST!
