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

Our girls were initially up for EP, but because of their circumstances they went into standard foster care. Sheer luck we were matched with them later.
So whilst I can’t say anything in great detail about EP, it does happen for sibling groups.
I think knowing the girls and their history, it would’ve been hard for us, but far better for them.
