Should we adopt? Question from a mom considering adoption...

We have a biological son. Would it be hard to be
adopted into our family?
Hello this is a really great forum to learn more
about transracial adoption. I have a question for
anyone who cares to answer it. My biological daughter
was born too early and died at birth, I went on to
give birth to a little boy who is now one. I could go
on and try to have another baby who would be
biologically related to my family or we could try to
adopt a boy or girl to become my son's brother or
sister. Do you think it would be hard to be adopted
into a family where the older brother is biologically
related to the parents? Do you have a deep feeling
that the universe sort of chose your adoptive family
for you or does life seem more random than that (I
guess this is a pretty esoteric question!). Also I am
tall, skinny, with a sort of big nose-this is such a
funny question but does it bother you that your moms
may not look like you or do you just accept it and
love your family and yourself for who you are. Just a
little about our family since I read all your
profiles: My husband is an artist, I am a nurse, we
love eating out, cooking at home as a family,
watching indy films, going for walks, and dream about
living overseas at some point. We like learning about
other cultures, learning new foods, and like to laugh
a lot. Thanks in advance for your help! P.
