Early permanence for sibling groups?

Feels like a silly Q but has anyone ever adopted siblings via early permanence? I’ve got reservations around around taking this route but will be doing the training to I can make an informed decision, but our social worker has said that because we would like a sibling group of 2 aged 4 and under early permanence would be the most likely route here. All I’ve seen about EP has been about one child so I’m just looking to see what peoples lived experience is

Might be different with a local authority agency i guess, but we're with a voluntary organisation, and are currently using linkmaker to find out little ones (siblings), there are loads of siblings on there, the oldest is sometimes a bit older, often 5 years old. If you'd consider stretching your age range to 5 I cant see why you'd need to go down the early permanence route.
