Having both birth and adopted children can present families with an array of challenges, as well as rewards. From dealing with typical sibling rivalry to ensuring that your children feel loved and equally important to you, it's easy to find yourself frustrated and full of questions such as:
- How can you help your biological children prepare for the arrival of an adopted sibling?
- How do you deal with well-meaning comments about your bio children looking like their mom or dad without hurting the feelings of your adopted children?
- What impact will your pregnancy have on your adopted children and how and when should you explain it?
