"out of order"

Generally, an out of order adoption really does not present any insurmountable problems. The child will react as to the addition of a new sibling. The child will have to adapt to a change in status/role/position. And, of course, there will be issues activated from the child's past regarding siblings, sharing, parenting, etc. But, generally, this is not a huge issue to worry about.
