Ranchmom1	Yes, in fact, we have. We had two biological children and then our oldest daughter came into our family and we adopted her. There are many ways to become a family - some kids are born to parents and are raised by them, some get step-mothers or step-fathers who help raise them, and some are adopted by one or two parents. It's just life and it's only remarkable if you make it an issue. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lyndsey Heap	i don't see a problem with it, i mean your very caring to give another child a home, it just shows your doing it for the child's benefit and not fill something that's missing in your life well-done and good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Doodlestuff	No, I personally don't think so unless your children are already or nearly grown up and out of the house. Don't force adoptive children to have to compete with your biological children. In my family, it actually had an opposite effect. My Mom was adopted by her stepfather. He treated her like a treasure and his own kids were treated like garbage. Fortunately, her half-sibs were close to her and directed their anger towards the correct party- their father. Of course, there are exceptions. Adopting family members is usually because the family member cannot or will not care for their child. I think children do better being raised by relatives than strangers, in the long run. There are also other instances: my friend, who has a daughter with Downs syndrome specifically adopted a similarly aged girl with Downs syndrome so that their own daughter would grow up with a sister. Both are benefited as neither will have to compete with a normal child. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sorraya	I personally don't have any issue on it. One of my mom's friends has had 3 kids and adopted 2. They all get along fine, and I didn't figure it out until recently. I don't see what's wrong with it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cam	Yes you can. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

William T	I think there's nothing wrong with that. Just be ready for the inevitable discussion of why one child was adopted and the other wasn't. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Morgan	Absolutely! A neighbor adopted a little boy after years of infertility. 5 months later, she found out she was pregnant. The two boys get along very well. Just make sure your kids know that you love them all the same and even though X grew in your tummy, Y grew in your heart. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

H******	I was raised with my parents natural born kids. I was envious of their obvious connection but on the brighter side I didn't have to act like a human band-aid for infertility problems, which IMHO is a huge burden for an adopted child to carry. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Katie	I am 12 years old and adopted. My mum has one child of her own and me (The adopted one) I dont feel any different to her real kid, As long as you treat them both fairly the same way that is fair. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ashley	i see no problem with it... your adopted child is still your child as much as the one you give birth to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stop the Hate Love instead	As long as the parents don’t treat the adopted kid(s) and natural kid(s) differently or favor one of the other then. Love them all as their children and the individual that they are. I don’t think there is anything wrong with someone having both biological and adopted children. Whether that is something they choose to do or just end up with. There was a lady who posted over at adoption.com she and her hubby had tried for 5 years to conceive. They finale decided to adopt and when their son was 9months old she found out she was pregnant. Some adoptees will tell you that they would have preferred there only have been adopted kids in the family or that they hadn’t been raised along with biological children of their adoptive parents. I personnel had no problem with it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
