I've been thinking about the same question, although for me it's a 'what if' not a reality. Financially it would be very difficult to adopt another child right now (I have a 2yr old at home and another baby hopefully coming home soon, not a sibling). If I received that call, I would do whatever necessary to keep the siblings together. I would probably borrow money from my family, take out a loan, or in a worst case scenario, do a cash advance from a credit card. So for me, it would be a painful but manageable short-term financial burden greatly outweighed by the lifetime reward of keeping the kids together. One other thing to remember, you will get some wonderful tax relief from your first adoption. Unfortunately that won't be until next year. Also, you won't need the full $ up front, which helps too. Just my 02.
