I had this feeling at the beginning of our 1st adoption, although I already had 2 bios. I had flown out of state to witness the birth of a niece...and my referral video of my son was in the hands of my sister at the hospital (I had the agency send it there). So, I watched her deliver her daughter and it was beautiful. Then I had to get permission to go into another hospital room because the room my sister in didn't have a video player. I watched with a heavy heart, and although I was so excited about receiving his video, I felt like maybe I wanted to have another bio baby. In fact, we turned that referral down. A week later, I had changed my mind and called the agency back and luckily he was still available (a miraculous story in itself which I'll share some other time). Thank Goodness...our Russian son is the kindest most caring child I've ever met.

My MIL had a difficult time getting pregnant after her first son, so she decided to adopt. In fact, the doctor said she likely wouldn't be able to have more kids. She adopted dh's 2nd oldest brother at birth, in fact she was well into her pregnancywith dh when she realized she was pregnant again. Dh and that brother are only 5.5 months apart. 2 years later she gave birth to another son, and almost died so they told her no more bio kids. She wanted to adopt a little girl but her husband didn't want to.
