Any books for older sibling about adopting a new brother/sister?

summerbrideDC

DH & I are still in the preliminary stages of deciding if we are going to pursue adoption.  We have a biological son who is 4 and he would obviously be older when/if we finally do bring a new baby into our home.  We have ruled out the possibility of fostering or fostering to adopt b/c we don't want to put our son in the position of getting attached to a new child as a sibling and then losing him/her.  But I also worry about his transition to having any new sibling join our family, especially as it will be a very different sort of experience then he'd have if I went through another pregnancy. 

Are there any kids books out there that deal w/ mommy & daddy adopting a new baby?  Along that lines, are there any books out there for parents specifically about adopting when a family already has a biological (or older, adopted) child?  I'm wondering what special considerations there are that might be different from a more traditional "mommy's having a baby!" sort of books for older siblings. 

all of this info might be in the Adoption for Dummies book some of you recommended to me last week, but I can't find the book in a bookstore (which is annoying!). So I'm going to order that book, but I thought I'd ask this separately, too.  

thanks!

I did a search for adoption books at the library I work at in IL and there were a few that delt with getting a new adoptive sibling do a quick search at your library you will find some

our library has a website your can search in I typed in adoption then limited the search to childrens books you get both picture books and chapter books you have to go into each one and read the description I noticed a few when I was looking if i get a chance i can try to look again and see if can get you some titles
