It wouldn't be the closeness in age that might be a problem, as I see it. It would be to make sure that you read about and exercise the attachment parenting---even if the new baby SEEMS to be 'just fine'. Attachment parenting certainly can't hurt.
Yes, your baby now will be affected. This always happens...whether you adopt this wee one now, or another baby in two more years. (We've adopted seven......four have been infant adoptions.)
Just prepare yourself for utter chaos in the early months....but in time...being pro-active......things will work well together (I'm willing to bet).
Keep us updated and my best to you......
Sincerely,
Linny
PS....My first two babies (now grown) are only 17months apart. My two youngest are 18months apart.
