[quote=Anonymous]Do not minimize the potential effects on your existing bio child of all the challenges that adopting an older child brings. It is one thing for your bio child to have a bio-sibling who has special needs, but it is another thing entirely for you to voluntarily create that situation for your family. We adopted a pair of older siblings. It has worked well for us, but has not been without challenges from one child with previously undiagnosed FASD. Given some of the big behavioral challenges we had with that child, I would have felt terribly guilty had we already had a bio child at home. [/quote]
