In principle I absolutely agree with it, though I'd prefer to adopt an older child if we were going to as they are less likely to get adopted than say a baby. How would you feel about that? And what age range would you prefer?

I think that's a wonderful idea darling... Perhaps even a set of siblings who need a loving home? We hear all the time about orphans who end up being separated from their brothers and sisters because people don't want to take them together - perhaps we're in a position to ensure that is not the fate of one little group? Somewhere around the 5-10 age group would fit in well I think. Too old to be wanted by the masses, but still young enough to adjust easily.

Did you want to adopt here in England? Or overseas?

Language wise it would be easier if they were fluent in English in terms of settling in. But other than that it isn't an issue where we adopt from. I agree I think adopting siblings would be a wonderful idea and would also make the transition into a new home easier for the children. We could possibly even stretch to 3 children?

I contacted an agency love and they've sent us a profile for a set of siblings! This is them, aren't they gorgeous?!

So from left to right is Oliver (aged 7), Mia (aged 5) & Rose (aged 9). According to the agency, they were all born here in England, but their parents actually moved the family to Russia of all places 4 years ago. Unfortunately, both of their parents were killed in a car accident and as the children have no family and their parents did not leave a will, they've been in a Russian orphanage for the 9 months...

What do you think love, are these kids ours?
