[quote=Anonymous]I have done research on adoption and emotional and behavioral disorders.  There's a lot of recent literature out there that you may want to look into.  International adoptions are also becoming increasingly difficult and drawn out, so take that into consideration.  If you're willing to consider an older child, I would look stateside rather than abroad, as the need here is also high.  Remember, however, that older children may carry with them greater risk of emotional problems, and that the climate here now seems to not favor cross-racial adoptions (if that would apply in your case).

From a purely logistical and practical standpoint, it sounds like a lot to take on.  You may want to do some soul searching regarding your desires for a larger family.    I don't at all intend to discourage you, OP.  I'd just suggest that there are many ways in which this decision will affect your existing family, and I would encourage you to do some research.  Best of luck to you and your family!
