[quote=Anonymous]Seeking advice/experiences from families with both natural and adopted children. I have always wanted to adopt children, and also hopefully have some of my own. Ideally we would like 3-4 children and will most likely have a natural 1st child. But after that, would you recommend adopting the 2nd or continuing on to have 2 natural children in a row and then begin the adoption process? I know there are a lot of factors here beyond my control but wanted to see if anyone has any advice or pointers on this matter. Most important for me is for the adopted child(ren) to feel every bit as much a part of us and our family as our natural children, and to provide the best transition and support for them emotionally. I'm in my late 20's so there would likely be enough "time" to space apart natural children and adopt in between, so that is not a huge issue affecting my question.[/quote]
