Age gap 2nd adoption

[teekay88]

Hi there. Quick q to help me ponder...those of you who have adopted for a second time may I ask how big of an age gap your little ones have? I am considering it in the next couple years but in my mind I would like DS to perhaps get to 7 or 8 first. I'm wondering though if that will be considered too much of a gap?

Can I also ask while in here how you found the process second time around?

Any insights very welcome! Thank you x

Ours have a 6.5 year age gap, our youngest came home as a baby, so our son was 6.5 when his little sister came home. Its a good gap for us, he was at school so we could focus on our daughter during the day while he maintained his routine. He was also old enough to grasp that attention being shared didn’t mean he wasn’t loved by us.
