Does anyone foster sibling groups? What are your experiences?

Hi Lasttreestanding,

I'd love to know why you're asking....

We currently foster 2 sisters age 10 and 13. The bicker and argue constantly with each other but are lovely to us and other children. A real pleasure to foster the majority of the time.

In the past we've fostered 2 brothers, then 2 male cousins, another 2 sisters, 2 brothers, then younger brother and older sister. All children come with past issues, the difference being that they bring a family member or 2 with them that they already either get along with or not and already have a past with, that foster carers can only guess at.

Personally I like that they are not moving in alone and have someone to share current, as well as past, experiences with.

i have only fostered sibling groups and i think it must be easier as they have each other and thus some continuity and company.
