Normally it's a bad idea, becuase older kids can be a danger to younger ones. However, being this close in age, the new child will probably not be bigger or more mature than your bio child, so it will probably work. There may be issues later, if the new child is less mature and doesn't catch up you will have issues with explaining who gets what privelege, but you should be able to handle it. I have two kids who are nine months apart, so in the summer they are the same age, however, they are two years apart in school and very far apart in maturity. I am able to use the grade thing for some arguments as to why one has priveleges the other doesn't, but it sometimes causes friction because of the maturity difference. Nothing we can't handle, but something to be aware of.
