Why is it a good thing to adopt siblings??

Amy43 brought this up in a thread post trying to convince her loving and supportive hubby why siblings is better to adopt. Some of his debatable questions (didn't want to use word arguements lol) are:

• "can we afford 5 children??"
• "Our house is small,"
• "they won't know English"
• "it is harder for older kids to bond"

We can help Amy43 in her loving and kind debate to convince her hubby. She needs information or as Amy43 says..."ammunition"!
so all ya'll parents that have adopted sibling groups lets help Amy get some bullets!


so I prepose this to ALL who have adopted siblings!!! Doesn't matter if it is International, Foster, Domestic, or Step Children!!

I am so grateful I did not have to go through convincing DH. He had to encourage me sometimes. He has even suggested 7 children may not be his limit b/c it isn't fair to have only 1 boy. I wish Amy all the luck in the world.

This is a good overview of why it's good to keep siblings together.
