My little girl is now 5 months old and the best thing that has ever has ever happened to us. I would love her to have a brother or sister one day but I am unsure if I can see me getting through another pregnancy as mine was so awful due to acute morning sickness.
So the option of adopting one day in the future has occurred to me. I would truly love to give a loving home to a little person who needed one and understand fully that the process is often very long, difficult, frustrating even heartbreaking at times but it is something that I'm considering.
Is there anyone out there with one biological and one adopted child? How did you feel about having one of each without the adopted child feeling "not really yours" for want of a better description (sorry if that's been put clumsily) and/or was it difficult not to "overcompensate" to make them not feel that way and finding the best balance so that the biological child didn't feel left out etc etc etc?
Would love to hear other people's experiences and how they dealt with it.
