If you are preg, forget about adoptiing for a while. They have rules against it. in fact, I got preg while on the wait list. I pondered whether or not to tell. I was BLASTED for even considering not telling. I lost the pregnancy. However, if I would have told, I would have had to wait 6 months after miscarriage and/or one year after birthing a child. They will not let you take in other kids while pregnant or right after birthing or losing a child because of emotions. They have had bad experiences: people who decide to give back kids in favor of their new borns, moms breaking down over loss of pregnancy and loss of placment, etc. It sucks because I am sure you know what you can emotionally handle.

You are lucky you can have kids. I wish you all the best. Perhaps now, the sib set can go to a family w/o kids until your little one is born and settled in.
