Should You Disrupt Birth Order When Adopting or Fostering? - Weekend Wisdom

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.

Q: We have 3 children by birth and want to adopt a child that really needs a home. Given our kids' ages, this will probably mean that we will disrupt the birth order of at least some of our kids. The agency we have talked with is definitely against this idea. Is this something that is harmful to kids?
