Both of my children were adopted, and they also interact like biological siblings, complete with the alternating waves of loving to hang out together and endless bickering (mine are teenagers).

I feel an immesureable amount of love towards both of my children. I will be honest and say that the love is different, not more or less, just different. The way I received both of my children was different, the way I bonded with thenm was different, therefore the love I have is different. However, they are both my sons and I love them with all of my heart. They intereact and get along just as biological siblings do. They love each other, play together and miss each other when apart. They, of course, have spats just as any other set of siblings do, but they genuinely love each other. I have no regrets about my family and love both of my children the way they are.

It's like kids in families in general. Some can handle one, some can handle 12, and some can't handle any. But you have to fairly assess your personal situation, because a bad assessment is unfair to any child you may adopt. It’s really true. It’s like kids in families in general.
