  1. Take in a sibling group through foster care.


  2. I dont know if this goes for all international adoptions but i do know in RUSSIA you can adopt 2 at a time...sometimes more. They dont always have to be siblings. I have a friend who adopted 2 girls (one 17 months, one 23 months) from two seperate orphanages more than 100 miles apart. It was cheaper for her to adopt 2 at the same time, rather than 2 seperate adoptions.  Good Luck!

  3. are you in theUSA?

  4. Yea as the first responce said there are several chidren that are siblings that need and want a home together!

    You can look into you local foster care family assoication or go to www.adoptuskids.com

    There is a lot of information on kids avaliable in your area!!

  5. no

  6. Yes, most foster care services have an incredibly difficult time keeping siblings together and someone who comes in *asking* to adopt a sibling group would be welcome indeed. Check with your state's foster care services.

    Also, this sites all allow you to search by number of children in the sibling group (as well as other search criteria):

  7. Yup, you can just go to the local orphanage and take your pick.

    Um what century are you really living in?  The days of cheap/easy adoptions are long gone (as they should be).

    You cannot just go to an "institution" and adopt two children (or one)without a lot of paperwork, and a valid homestudy.

  8. My brother and I were adopted together. That was years ago and in NY.

    We were in foster care before the adoption. They try to place siblings together in foster care, so I would contact the foster care agency and see if there are any children up for adoption. My parents did go through an agency for the adoption.

    Good luck

  9. Should you not be interested in US Foster adopting , many international agencies would absolutely love to hear from a parent wishing to adopt siblings. Ethiopia's adoption programs are growing at lightening speed but here you can adopt up to 4 siblings at one time, as well as Kazakhstan, very affordable compared to other international adoptions and children are very young at adoption age. Siblings under 3 is not difficult in those two countries. Your first step is to get a home study done to see if you even qualify for siblings. What agency you use for this will not hamper what route you choose to take so long as you make certain that agency is licensed for domestic, foster, and international adoption, which are all questions you would ask at initial contact. A worker will come out and go over all the different options with you. Foster adoption is certainly the most cost effective but speaking from first hand experience I can tell you that there is a potential for excessive heart ache due to the US Courts. Search adoption home study agencies near your city.

  10. why dont you become a foster parent there are many kids out there who need fostering and if parental rights are taken you would be given the obtion to adopt and the foster system can also give you the info on good places to go to in the mean time just think of how many kids you could be helping out.

  11. I don't know about all over but I do know that in my province there are many siblings crossing their fingers & wishing to be placed together.

    Assuming that your asking about adopting siblings, I think it's a great idea that should be encouraged

  12. Where you should adopt... I think you should adopt two children in Romania. I was adopted from there 16 years ago and my life is definitely different than from what it could have been. I don't know what institution I was adopted from, but there are adoption centers all over Romania. I hope you consider it!

  13. Pearl S. Buck foundation is very reputable.

    We did not use them......but will next time.

    Three friends adopted from this organization.

    One domestic.....two overseas.

    There are many older children that would love to have a forever family.......

    In the US children that become "unadoptable" are age 5 and over.....Imagine being five without a mommy and a daddy!!!
