I'd say give it a chance.

Regardless if you're bringing home a newborn or a little bit older child, your first child will be having some issues.

Attachment can be a bit challenging, it's a good thing to keep it in mind (reading suggestion: Weaver's Craft - Toddler Adoption). Learn about bonding/attachment games and exercises you can do.

Give lots of skin-contact, hugging, eye-contact.

Most of all, trust your instincts and follow your heart.

All the best!
