With our first adoption, we had really intended to keep our youngest as the youngest. We felt that it was in his best interest to remain the youngest. He was four and I also really didn't think we would be offered a younger child. Well, we ended up with a 2yo. It was hard, hard, hard. He had a time adjusting, but also loved his new brother so much. In the long run, I don't think it was any harder than if we had had another biological child. Now adding his "twin", that is still hard. They are 11, and in the same class at school and so there is a lot of competition going on. Although, they also have a good relationship and have a lot of fun together, so that may not be worse than twins who grew up together.
