I think it is very common. Most of the children I have been placed with have older and younger siblings. My most recent placements have been the 6th and 4th child of relatively young parents that have many child bearing years ahead of them. I echo the thought that if you would like the child to be placed with you that you should notify the department so they know that your home is open and that you are willing to consider it. We recently got word that it is something we will have to consider in the next few months but I'm nervous. I don't know if I'm up for 5 under 5!
