Overall, I'd prefer to have a great kid, no matter where they came from. That's first overall.
But secondly, I'd prefer to be the biological parent, simply from the aspect of knowing their medical background, and knowing what things they might go through and being able to help prepare them for medical situations that they might be more likely to run into.
Sadly, I've seen too many adopted children that have been abused in some form and that abuse stays with them, and they might continue it to their siblings or onto others, or themselves. And when you know the issue, sometimes you can the situation, but also there can be some unknown items that are extremely hard if not impossible to figure out.
Of course, I also know some adopted children that have grown up to be my idols and what I truly hope to be when/if I get to be their age as they're absolutely amazing people and have all their sh!t together.
Once again, I would just want a great kid no matter where they came from. But I also think knowing their background and family history certainly can help learning about their potential future struggles.
