Room for sibling

Hi, Just out of interest (I am not in this situation), Iâve read a lot about adoptive parents being approached to adopt the new sibling of that child. When we go through the adoption process we are told we must have a room for each child and that there must be at least 2 years between siblings. Do they still hold to this then? Would they not approach you to take on a sibling if you go not have a room for each child? If this happened to us we would like to think we would take on a sibling but would not have a spare room. Thank you

I donât think thereâs a hard and fast. I know of siblings who do share but equally circumstances where sws have said they each have to have their own room. Some kids can share happily, others canât. My three certainly couldnât share. Iâd worry about it if and when but park it for now

I think usually approaching sibling adopters if the first port of call for a new baby to place. We were approached and didn't have a spare room. It was no issue at all as the baby can stay in your bedroom for a long period anyway. In the long run, it's highly likely you'd need another room but the adoption order would be through by then (so SS gone) and you'd all have had time to settle and work out what's best. So it's not really an issue to worry about if this scenario happens.

It depends. You can't assume it will happen like this in every case. Some Las will be stricter than others 're their rules.
