When you adopt and older child??

Hello.
My Dh and I and our Bio 6 year old son are going to adopt soon. We are looking for the age range of 0 to 6, male or female. Basically my question is has anyone adopted like this before? I'm sure there are some of you out there of course...but how did your bio child handle it. Ours is absolutly thrilled to get a sibling and has been drawing pictures and making things for him or her. The new child will obvioulsy know you are not the "real parents" so how do you try to transition yourself into being their parent and friend? I know I'm sounding confusing, but it's becuase I am confused. Nothing will stop us from adopting, I know it's not going to be a bed of roses like the movies...but what are your experiances and how did the transition take place from 3 some to 4some?
