Well, I can tell you what has happened here. We adopted our eldest. They called us 4 months later to tell us that her half sister was now in care. We took her and adopted her as well. A couple of years later another half sibling came into care. They did not call us or the other family that has another half sibling. Both of us would have taken this child. Her foster family ended up adopting her. We have never seen her and barring a major miracle probably never will. Last May we got a call that there was a little half brother. We took him as well. In IN siblings are suppose to have the priority, but obviously that was not the case with Katlie. My girls grieve not knowing her and so do I.

So I guess it depends on your state law and whatever floats the boat of the caseworker at the time.
