Adopting out of birth order (also on Adoptive Parents)

We received a referral for a beautiful 3 year old boy. I am OK with not adopting a baby, but we were planning on a 1-2 year old to keep our family's birth order, as our youngest just turned 3 years old. Anyone have stories/ information about adopting in or out of birth order and why it is important or not? We are leaning toward accepting this referral and not worrying about getting "exactly" what we wanted but don't want to go in uninformed. It doesn't seem so important to me that it's worth waiting longer and saying no to such a beautiful child, but maybe I'm being naive. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
