It really has been interesting watching these posts from the outside, but I never could seem to figure out where to jump in as we are in the middle of a conflict re: sibs ourselves. Our fd's got quite a few older sibs in several different adoptive homes...none of them able to take her. She's been with us over a year and has a younger sib due shortly. Our first reaction was NO MORE kids. We had all kinds of excuses...2 bios and her, house too small, no daycare...you know I'm sure. After going through the original posts and lots of thought and discussions I think we likely will take sib IF he/she is removed. We are beginning tpr with our other and haven't been to committee yet, but will in the next month or so. We were told we have legal preference, but of course it's never over 'til the fat lady sings!! You all have helped put in perspective how important the sib bond is...thank you. Our situation is a little different than your's because the other child will be an infant. In my heart I feel it's the right thing to do, but still VERY scary for someone who had no intentions of adopting at all.
