My first son was adopted and then I have two bio sons that followed. I had more trouble attaching to my bio sons. But I love them all fiercely and exactly the same now. There is no difference whatsoever. Actually the fact that my first son is adopted is just a peripheral fact.
Anyone with a bio child first and #2 adopted?

Thank you girls for your responses. I really appreciate it. We had been thinking about adopting through the public system but for a variety of reasons it looks like it won't work out for us so we are looking at private adoption now (and getting excited).

I had my "a-ha" moment yesterday and decided this will be my last IVF cycle and I am ready for that (finally!). If it fails I will pursue adoption through a local agency that adopts to single women.

Single with secondary infertility, AMA, DOR, RPL. TTC started with four failed IUI's.
IVF #1: converted to another IUI after 2 of 10 follies went rogue during stims --> BFN
IVF #2: 6 eggs retrieved, 5 fertilized with ICSI --> 3dt of 4 high grade embryos with AH --> BFN
IVF #3: 6 eggs retrieved, 4 fertilized with ICSI --> vitrified at 2PN (had to put TTC on hold)
IVF #4: 11 eggs retrieved, 9 fertilized with ICSI --> 5dt of 3 blasts --> 
--> lost HB at 8w4d 
IVF #5: 7 eggs retrieved, 6 fertilized with ICSI --> 5dt of 2 blasts --> --> missed m/c at 7w3d
IVF #6: cancelled due to poor response --> IUI --> totally unexpected --> chemical
Getting off the IVF train and happily moving on to international adoption
Dossier approved & registered! Waiting for a referral... 
Nine months later, still waiting...

My #1 is my bio then #2 and #3 are adopted while #4 is again a bio child.... I just think of our family as wonderfully blended and unique
