When we started looking into adopting Lillian (age 7), we wondered about disrupting birth order. Our SW said that if we were going to do it, then this was the time because Jayden would still be so young. I got the impression that if he was, say, 4 and we were adding a 7 year old that it might be more difficult. I would think that the same thing would apply since your little girl is still so young.

We are anticipating some difficulties because our daughter has been in the orphanage for 5 years and has special needs, but we really don't feel like disrupting birth order will be a problem because Jayden won't ever remember being the oldest child.

Good luck with this decision.
