I am surprised the case worker is not taking your offer to place the siblings together more seriously. I know in my case, the girls I am working on adopting were placed seperatly because the state could not find a foster placement that would take all three together. When I contacted the SW about visits and offered my home as a possible placement, the SW jumped at the chance to meet me and my family and see my home to see if it would be a possible placement for the girls. The SW has been wonderful and very supportive, not to mention going out of her way to try and accomidate my needs so that the girls can be placed with me eventually. She even made phone calls to expedite my foster care license because the red tape was slowing things down. I would think that placing siblings TOGETHER should be priority #1 unless the kids are abusive to each other, which doesn't seem to fit in your case. Maybe there are reasons that haven't been made aware yet? Or maybe the case worker is just lazy and doesn't want to bother? Hopefully this will get cleared up and the little ones can be together again. Like the other posters have said, rattle all the chains you can until someone gives you an answer or does something to get these children back together!
