Curious, too
I'm curious about this, too, for slightly different reasons. We have three boys 15, 13, 11, and adopted a girl who is now almost 2. We are thinking of adopting again, but I don't know whether it's better to hope for a child who is older than our little girl, or younger.
When we adopted the first time we were told that it is not a good idea to adopt kids close to your bio kids' ages (at least with our age grouping), that you needed to have at least five years between the youngest in one sibling group and the oldest adopted group of kids. That way they don't feel displaced from their birth order, and you avoid lots of sibling rivalry issues.
I would like to know what folks' experiences have been with this. Looking forward to the replies!
