I'm also looking for siblings......
This will be my 3rd/4th adoption. My son J is 6 and I got him at 2-1/2 from NJ. My son Q is about to be 4 and I got him at 1-1/2 from OR. (obviously both special needs/waiting child adoptions)
Am now looking for single girl, 0-2, boy sibs 0-4, possibly boy/girl sibs 0-3. (My agency wants birth order adoptions only). That's ok, though, I know J couldn't stand not being the oldest. Q wouldn't care much, though.

I agree with angelical, there are SOOOOOO many cute 3-sib sets out there!!! It makes it really, really hard - but as a single parent I know my limits as well. I've had a sib set of 3 that has stayed with us for respite care (I'm a foster parent as well) and thank God it was only for a week, because it was a bit much having 5 kids under 6!!!!


As to your question,

Here is a queston for you all... "Are you bringing a gift when meeting them and what is it if you are?"

When I first met J, I brought him a stuffed tiger. He took one look at it and started shrieking and crying. Yahhhhhh........stuffed that one back in the suitcase.
When I met Q, I brought him a small stuffed helicopter that made helicopter sounds when you squeezed it. I also brought him a mini See-n-Say, which he really liked. (to this day he just loves musical or talking toys).
So...........a miss the first time around, a hit the second.

Really glad to have found this thread, there aren't too many aparents looking for siblings out there!!!
