Just wondering - if you adopted, would you continue to allow the 17 year old brother to have contact? The reason I ask is because the boy we are hoping to keep permanently is 15. He has little "siblings" (they are actually biologically cousins, but have all been raised together and call the same people mom and dad) aged 2 and 3 who are very likely going to be adopted. We've been warned that he could very well lose all access to them if the adoptive parents aren't willing to allow continued visitation. I've seen him with them at his visits, and it absolutely breaks my heart. He'll miss them so much. He's a little upset that there has been no attempt to place them all together - but NO ONE is likely to take a "sibling group" with that big an age spread, who aren't really siblings, and with an older boy with such emotional damage. And while I want HIM, I'm sure not planning to take 2 toddlers!
