Wow, I am sorry you are going through this. At least you know about all of this from the beginning. I don't really have any advice, but can share my story. My 17 month old FS has a biosister who is 5 months old. When she came into care it was to me at around 3 weeks old. I had her 2 weeks and she was moved (I needed her moved for many reasons). I still have my FS and she is in a different home. We have a TPR hearing in a couple of months and then he will be my adoptive placement until finalization. I am all for sibs staying together. However, they can not keep moving kids around every time the parents have a new one. It would be entirely unfar for the oldest kids to keep moving everytime they want to "keep the family together" and the current homes can't take more babies. I am totally open to sibling contact (and actually really hope we have it). I guess my point is...it is possible for the kids to stay in different homes. It is really unfair to all of them to be shifted around so much. Since your baby is so young I would think they will be much more likely to move him than his sister. However, this may not be what happens. Good luck to you and your foster son.
