Hi K,
I did give birth to my son at the age of sixteen and I have an adopted daughter. I feel the same about both of them.
I'm also not a person who needs to experience pregnancy, labor, and birth to love a child. I've never cared about the whole carrying on the family name thing enough to say it could only happen through a bio child. As far as I'm concerned any child of mine can carry on the family name no matter how they became a part of the family. I also could care less if my children look like me or dh.
Our desire to parent and our goals in parenting go far beyond these type of things.
The only thing I can say about having bio children is that barring any major problem IMO it is much easier than adoption but it doesn't change the outcome.
