I already have 2 bio children. Should I adopt?

I have two biological children and always wanted to have about 3 or 4 children. But unfortunately I have a heart condition that could put my life in danger if I were to be pregnant again. I have always thought about adoption (I'm a 3rd generation adoptee) and I would love to do domestic infant adoption. I'm not interested in foster care adoption right now since my children are young, and traveling for international adoption would be very difficult for us. But I kind of feel bad about doing domestic infant adoption because I know that there are so many childless couples who are unable to have biological children and are on long waiting lists to adopt a baby. I feel like I would be taking a child away from those couples. What are your thoughts?

Some parents don't want to give their children to child less couples and some do. Some first moms want their kids to have an older sibling and some don't. I wouldn't worry about that. A lot of first moms want open adoption, meaning visit several times a year and a lot of pics. They also want to be treated right and to be respected. Also some people do get to adopt babies in foster care.
