"HELP" sibling sexual abuse

We are pre/adoptive parents of a sibling group, boy 6, and two younger sisters 4 and 2 yrs old through DHS, after 6 months of bonding B opened up to us about the sexual abuse from his bio-father. Then we have learned he has been abusing sister 4. in our home, under our noses, and even before they came to us. Very traumatizing for her, we thought it best to do emergency removal of him from our home. DHS and children's attorney, and Judge believe "in the best interest of the siblings" they should be adopted together, all or none. Both in separate therapy, we don't want to give up the girls, and want to save the girls from possible life long abuse.Only loving parents girls have ever known and are very attached to my wife and I, we would love some advice on best steps to take to keep the girls.

Wow, so sorry to hear!
You might post this on either the special needs forum or foster parents forum....they see more action than this forum.
Prayers for your family
