Adopting after biological child-any experiences?

Hello, I’m looking for some advice as we have a 7 yr old DS but have struggled with secondary infertility, I had DS with no issue but since then I’ve had 5 MC’s. I’ve had all the tests and basically it just comes down to bad luck apparently (and my age as I’m now 44 and been trying for the last 6 years). So after much consideration of all the options, we are still very keen to grow our family as I feel I’ve got lots of love still to give. But my worry with adoption is what impact it could potentially have on my biological DS, does anyone have experience of adopting after having a biological child and how have you found it? I wouldn’t want the adopted child to feel that I loved them any less than my biological child but would this be inevitable? And what age gap would you recommended ideally? Thank you xxx

Hi, OP. We've moved your thread to the Adoption board as we reckon you'll get some helpful replies there - do let us know if that wasn't the right call.
