Hi "SusanandGrace"....
I am a single adoptive MaMa to my DD, who came home from the Moscow Region 18 months ago.
My sister and BIL adopted a daughter 2 weeks after me, and they already had a bio daughter (16), and bio son (12), when they adopted Sasha at the age of 8.2 years old. The older children adore their little sister, and she loves them. It has NOT always been a smooth road for the family, but everyone grew into their new roles.
I can imagine that with your Grace being soooo young, you may only have to deal with her realizing that she no longer is the baby of the family, unless you adopt a daughter that becomes her older sister!?
Blessings on considering this Journey!!!
