[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have both bio and adopted kids. We adopted an older child out of birth order, and it was sooo hard on the kids who were already here. Please don't do this. We thought our family would be the exception. This one adoption has had such a negative impact on our family. The psychological, emotional, and mental health issues of this one child have nearly collapsed our family. The damage to our biological child who is close in age to the child from this adoption has been severe and will be life-long. [/quote] I would question what adoption agency would allow you to do this. Older child adoption is hard on its own. Most reputable agencies will not allow you to disrupt birth order, because it is known to cause additional strain. The agency should not have allowed it, and should have counseled and educated you about the difficulties.[/quote]
