Ok, here are some titles that I have found. See if your local library has a copy since some of these books are pricey!

* Siblings in Adoption and Foster Care: Traumatic Separations and Honored Connections by Deborah N. Silverstein (Editor), Susan Livingston Smith (Editor)

* Sibling placement in foster care and adoption: An overview of international research [An article from: Children and Youth Services Review] by R.L. Hegar

* Large Sibling Groups Adoption Experiences by Dorothy Le Pere

* Siblings in Late Permanent Placements by Alan Rushton

* Sibling Groups and Social Work: A Study of Children Referred for Permanent Substitute Family Placement by Peter Wedge

* The placement of a large sibling group: A cooperative approach by Martie Kaufman

This is so sad. I've just spent an hour doing research online and these are the only titles I can come up with. It makes me think that maybe I should write a book about sibling adoption!

Thanks for the list. Siblings in Adoption and Foster Care: Traumatic Separations and Honored Connections looks good, but it is so new I may wait until the price for used drops or check the library.
