I have a 3 year old bio son and we just brought Mia home at 5 months. In general, not even considering the whole attachment issue(s), I am finding two kids - a toddler and infant, a very difficult adjustment for everyone - my son, me, my husband. Babies are a huge adjustment - wonderful, but a major life change. I cannot imagine adopting two (baby and toddler) together and handling that, plus the attachment on top of that. Just my honest opinion. I would bond with the baby first and then think about adding a sibling. Good luck!
