Nope, I don't think it's unrealistic at all. Just depends on what and how much you and your family can handle.

I think being inexperienced parents you might be shocked at some of the things a child will do whether said child is your birth kid or adopted. Once you get experience, not a lot surprises or shocks a mom anymore. You just learn to take one day at a time and some days, one second at a time.
