My son (bio) was six years old when we were blessed with our daughter. She was brought into our lives through the miracle of domestic infant open adoption. Our facilitator originally told us it could take longer because we already had a child. (not necessarily because he was our biological child). But it really depends on the birthmom (and or birthdad).
Our daughter's birthparents (and full blooded siblings) really liked the fact that our son WANTED to be an older brother. Once they found out they were having a girl, they loved the fact that she would have an instant older protective brother.
Please remember, there are all sorts of variables and situations that bring families together. The more flexible you are in regards to sex, race, and circumstance, the more you open yourself to finding your child that was meant to be.
GOod luck!!
