4 school age siblings would be special needs adoption. I can't fathom any state that wouldn't classify such a sibling set as special needs and give assistance to the adoptive family.

Heck, most states now automatically qualify sibling sets, over a certain age, or simply available for adoption over a certain timeframe and not in a permenant home as special needs.

I know NY classifies a child as special needs regardless of anything else if they have been available for adoption for 6 months or longer and haven't found an adoptive home. I know IL classifies a child as special needs automatically if they are over age 4. Those are just 2 cases in my immediate family. I can't fathom any state not saying 4 school-age siblings weren't special needs.
