I have 2 nieces who were very much used to being the only children in the family before I got my daughter. They've adjusted pretty well, but will once in awhile show a little posessiveness, especially when I make or give my daughter special things. I've had the hardest time teaching them what adoption is; especially it's permanancy. I also worry when my daughter is older, if they will say things that unintentionaly hurt her. Like last time I saw my 4 yr. niece, she informed me that she thought A's "first mommy" was a bad person for not loving A. I tried to tell her that you can love someone and still give them up, but I don't think she bought it.
