Hi! I'm in Chicago. My DH and I have 3 kids, ages 6, 8, and 10. They were 6, 7, and 9 when placed with us in November. We had turned down a placement of another sibling group ages 1,2, and 4. So, no, it is not impossible to get younger kids. Mind you, these were legal risk placements. If you want kids who are legally free, that is a different matter.
I used to be a child welfare lawyer, and I have a good sense of the reputations of various agencies. There are some really, really awful ones out there, some that are not so bad, and a few that are comparatively good. If you PM me, I'd be happy to go into more details.
Good luck!
