Question

Why r sblings put up for adoption separated if they are not threats to each other?

Answer 1

The customers (adoptive parents) don't want to purchase siblings--it's too much work.

And the agencies make more money, and please more customers if they split sibling groups to supply more infertile couples with babies.

Answer 2

Because most people don't want more than one child to adopt.  They don't want the responsibility that comes with the additional child.

Answer 3

Becasue there are families that only want one child. There were five of us and we all got put in diffrent homes but in the end my adopted parents fought to keep my younger brother and I together. Its just people not wanting to have more then one.

Answer 4

I agree with some of the other respondents. I work for the Department of Family and Children Services. Many times there are just not enough homes and families to take sibling groups. Unless the chidren are twins, it is safe to assume that one is younger/older than the other. Having said that the younger you are the greater your chances of getting adopted.The babies go first, the toddlers next, and the rest are stuck  in the system or go to families who would ilek to adopt, but because of societal norms are forced to take the older children. These would be your ethnic families, single parent homes, and homosexual homes. It is sad but people that adopt are usually in it for personal gain and not the best interest of the child. That is not to say that they do not provide superior care for the child, but it is about getting their personal need met. Additionally, they are not seperated for financial reasons because the amound of money you hav eto pay is the same whether you adopt 1 or 5 children togethter. You still pay the same attorneys fees and so forth.

Answer 5

One reason is because the thinking og some adoption agencies is that adoptive parents would not want to adopt a sibling group. Another reason is because the siblings are born after one sibling was born. Like my case, I was adopted and when my younger sister came along my birth mother gave her up to a "friend" for adoption. I'm sure my parents would of adopted her if they were given a chance. The third reason is because some and I stress some adoptive parents only want one child when they are told of a sibling group and will request just one.
