I have a friend who has 5 bio kids. They adopted a little girl, a year or so older than their youngest bio child. Everything was fine. They then adopted a little boy, younger than all of the kids. The 2 adopted kids were siblings, just adopted at different times. AND THEN....a 15 year old bio sibling contacted the family and they adopted her. She is a year or so older than the oldest bio child. Everything seems fine. They just had to prepare their family and explain to them the needs of these adopted children. They all seem very well adjusted and they all get along well. The adopted kids were welcomed into the family.

Good luck. With a little love, a lot of patience and lots of communication between your children, I think you can make it work!
