in Adoption
My husband and I are looking/researching about adoption. We currently have a biological two year old, but something is driving us to adoption for expanding our family. Could possibly recommend any book regarding the emotions of adopting? Especially, attachment. I can't imagine loving another child as much as my daughter, and I know that's silly. I just want to be fully prepared emotionally. thanks in advance.

Re: Recommendations
Hi and welcome.
I'd recommend starting with the FAQs at the top of the board. They provide a lot of overview info and resources to get you started. You can likely find some reading material there, or at least a direction to get started.
FWIW, that feeling you have isn't particular to adoption. A lot of couples "worry" about having more than one child because they can't imagine loving another child more than the one they have. Then they have more, and they realize that love multiplies.
GL moving forward.
