[16f] I'm newly adopted and I'm feeling inadequate and I'm worried about talking about my problems because I don't want to seem needy

I'm 16 female, and I'm currently a few weeks into being adopted into a family. I've been going through foster care for a long time and I know I'm super lucky that someone was willing to have me.

My problem is I feel really inadequate. I'm worried they had these great expectations about a new kid and then they got me. I've been trying to do my best so far and they're being really nice to me but I keep having trouble sleeping or stupid things like that and I don't want them to be disappointed in me.

They have a daughter that's around my age and she's pretty and smart and does well at school and I just feel like they won't like me because I'm not as good as her. I'm also concerned she doesn't like me because I'm in her space now and Idk I'm just feeling bad.

I don't want to be bad or disappointing so I want to get better. How can I make sure I'm being good for them? I have all these stupid questions I'm worried to ask them about because I don't want to bother them but I have issues with sleeping and I'm struggling with adjusting etc.

I really would appreciate any advice and dos/donts or whatever you're willing to give. Thank you.

TL;DR Newly adopted and feeling inadequate and scared about asking for help or anything in case I seem needy.
