I agree with you Crick. And the original post does kind of "sound" like the removal of the six year old was a knee-jerk kind of thing.
I have also had those moments when I wondered if it was the right think to keep my sib set together. It is VERY hard at times, but so far has worked out for the best.
ONE time, early on in my journey, I had a sib set removed from my home. The look on that little boy's face when he found out he was leaving almost did me in. I thought to myself "I just put another nail in that little boy's coffin." (not by removing him, but by accepting the referral in the first place.)
And I have since always been much much more cautious in taking kids and committed to them once I take them.
