Birth order
She also does not want to interrupt their "birth order", which to me, is a ridiculous argument. I do not share a history with my siblings, so there was no rivalry, etc.
Just something you might think about while waiting for the responses. This Birth Order thing seems to be very real for raised siblings. Although I haven't talked with my bsiblings either, my bdad says that the oldest is having a lot of issues about "not being his first born" anymore. There are other siblings on these boards that have the same issues. I think this is silly also ... I obviously am not "taking anyone's place" in the family - DUH. But it can be very real on the other side.
My other 2 bsiblings don't seem to have any issue with this but, of course, they are still the middle child and the baby - no change for them.
Good luck and hope it all works out.
