Hi,
In answer to your question, "has anyone adopting a sibling group without having other kids first?"...yes I have. My first adoption was of twin boys and I am now in the process of adopting their 1/2 sister. I had no kids prior to the twins. It has gone well, in fact having the twins, it was helpful as if I was busy for a few minutes, they could entertain one another. If you don't mind my saying so...every situation is different, one person's bad experience may not be the same for you or anyone's good experience may not be the same for you. With the decision you are trying to make, (sibling group or 1 at a time) it really depends on the kids' situations...special needs, emotional status, developmental status etc. and what you and your husband think you can handle together. From personal experience I can tell you, you are capable of SO much more than you thought you were once you've been through the process and see where you are today vs. where you were 5 years ago. Listen to your "gut instincts" and you can't go wrong. I hope I've helped in some way and not "muddied" the water for you!
