We adopted about 2 1/2 years apart, and our boys are 2 years apart. The second adoption was much easier to persuade dh to do than the first--he said, "Well, if I'm going to be 60 by the time Joseph is out of the house, what's 62 with another one?"
The key, I think, for us, was that dh was not attracted to the idea of adoption itself, but to a particular child. I brought him ds's pic from a photolisting--he was dx with a particular health issue and so was on the agency's photolisting. I laugh when I think about the fears I had about that health issue now--our challenges have not been from physical DISability but from being TOO mobile!
Anyway, once dh saw our son's picture, he was able to begin to imagine having another child (for us, our fifth).
Good luck!
