It's not advisable to adopt out of birth order for many reasons. I couldn't do it if there was even a hint of a whisper about any child in any previous home being unsafe in any way (rages etc). We do have my 15 yr old sister living with us, as though it were a foster situation....and she's 100% safe, but it still caused trauma to my dd.

However, you'll need to have line of sight supervision at all times and buy alarms and cameras for the bedroom doors. If you decide to do it.
