Hi,
We had 2 boys bio when we adopted our little girl. They were 5 and 3 at the time. Although they were young they looked at it like mommy had another baby, their sister. We are getting ready to start again probably mid year at adopting #2 (4th child). When I talked to my oldest about it (now almost 9). He said, can we get a boy? lol I told him we would choose gender this time and just get what God gives us (if its meant to be). Also had to explain to him that the baby and him would be almost 10 yrs apart by the time it happened. So...anyway, they took it great! I dont think kids read into it as much as we think they do!
