[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have both adopted and bio kids.  The love comes a lot easier and more naturally with my biological kids.  I don't regret adopting, but I do have moments of doubt and wonder what life would be like had I not.  In the end, I think we are all better off the way things are, but I do feel guilty for not being able to provide my adopted kids with the kind of easy love that comes automatically with my bio kids.  It is more of a commitment to be the best parent I can be to them.  I still am proud of them and want what's best for them, but it's *not* the same like I hoped it would be.  However, I will never ever let them know that, and I constantly pray they don't see any of it in subconscious actions.  And I still hold out hope that as time goes on it WILL be the same.  The bonding process isn't as instant.  It takes time and that is the part that I regret.  [/quote]

Stepparent here- I have always been a little realistic in this arena- I think the fact that you acknowledge it and are taking steps to make sure you are being the best parent you can be are key.
