Your family dynamics are important to you!
Hello to you and welcome to the exciting world of foster to adopt! I am an adoptive momma to 4, boys 9 and 6 and twins 4.
We adopted our oldest when he was 4, thru foster to adopt, (he was legally "free" as termination had all ready occurred). After a few years we decided to adopt again thru the state waiting children. Our son was 6, when we put the papers together.
We too, felt our oldest son, had been the oldest, and we wanted to keep it that way. We are glad we did! Two months, after our son turned 7, we brought home a 4 year old boy, and his 1/2 twin sisters, (11 months apart), who had just turned 4!  This was an "at risk" placement, that bio mom had not been very good at appointments etc, and at the relinquishment hearing, she decided to terminate parental rights voluntarily.
Life was extrememly busy for a while, but having them so close in age is a great help! They play very good, once the oldest realized he wasn't parent #3.
