Hello,

My Husband and I have started the process of adopting from ethiopia. We have stated that we would like a sibling (or unrelated) group of 1 infant and 1 child 5-6. No Sex specifications. What are the chances that we will get such a sibling group? Do you think the agency would offer an unrelated group first, or a different age range?

Thanks!

I don't think anyone can know the "chances" of such a thing, as it depends on so many factors, including why these kids are available for adoption. Usually older kids are relinquished because of poverty or the death of a parent.

Some agencies will not allow people to adopt two unrelated children at a time.

You might consider expanding your age range--perhaps 0-18 months and 3-6 years. You never know when some kids might be available for adoption who don't meet your exact specifications.

I hope I've been of some help.
