We brought home our toddler girl in June 2004. She was 28 months old at the time. It is A LOT of work and adjustments to bring home a toddler........I can't imagine having a new baby at the same time. To be honest, I don't think it would be fair to the toddler to do it this way. They REALLY need a lot of attention and time to get used to their new home and their new mom and dad.
They need to be pretty much the center of attention for awhile.
That said, our little girl is doing great! She has had no attachment issues and has bonded with us completely.
To be honest, I had a harder time bonding with her than I did our first daughter who came to us at 9 months. I think you BOTH need to have as much one on one time as possible to give yourself time to bond, and I just don't see how it would work bringing home an infant at the same time. Just my opinion.........
