Our bio DD was just over 3 when we started the adoption process for her little brother. We brought our son home late last summer at 12 months, and DD was 4.5.
Definitely a bumpy transition, but almost 11 months later we have just the "normal" sibling issues - they love to chase each other around, and also annoy each other at times. DS wants to do everything she does. She now dotes on him, too.
Our process was 17 months with many ups and downs, but hardest was leaving DD when we travelled to Russia. She was with her grandparents and we felt comfortable with that but missed her like crazy!
Good luck in your decision.
