[quote=Anonymous]Before we had our first (biologically) we were in the adoption process. Now after having a bio kid, I have more concerns about adopting that I didn't really have the first time. Your insight would be helpful: 1. Adopting internationally: I'm concerned about how an child of a different race might feel in an all white (and very fair) family. 2. Adopting domestically: I struggle with the idea of an open adoption. Yes, I know that studies show it's better for child. We just aren't totally comfortable with it. 3. Will I feel differently about my adopted child than my biological? I fear that I'd be closer to my bio child. * I think these are valid concerns and would appreciate any thoughtful responses. I haven't been on this thread in years but seem to recall that since it's anonymous there can often be snarky or nasty comments. Please try to refrain ? Thanks[/quote]
