The best gift you can give a child is a sibling. That's one of my favorite sayings.
Our daughter's birthmom asked that the agency pick the family for her baby, and they contacted us. Our son, adopted from Haiti, had only been home about five months when we brought our daughter home. Our son loves his sister and kisses her all the time. She LOVES him and squeels and laughs at him no matter what he's doing.
The agency we used is a large agency that does adoptions throughout the country. They have "adoption situations" on their Website, and many of the situations don't state that the birthmother has a preference on children already in the family. Some indicate no children, but others want at least one or even more children in the home already.
I agree with the others that you are subject to the birthmothers' wishes, but the right one will come along. I do recommend that you make contact with another agency, as long as doing so won't cause problems with your current agency.
Good luck!
