Sibling Group

I receive the following emails through an adoption list serv.  I do not have personal experience with the agencies or facilitators.  Please practice due diligence and research the postings.
___________________________
Sibling group of 3 needs to be kept together, Aid up to $23,800 covers everything but $4900 in fees, homestudy fee, immigration fees and travel fees for eligible families for Africa.
Please keep this brother and his two younger sisters together.Contact FamilyFinders@wacap.org. We need a family with a completed homestudy/dossier by November.

We need your help spreading the word. The oldest B, a boy was born in 1994.This teenager broke down and cried thinking the siblings might be separated. He is getting too old for adoption from his country.We have until November to find a family with a homestudy and dossier for Africa in order to keep them all together before he ages out. Life is tough for these kids, their mom died and left a wonderful teenage brother with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is having a tough time because he is very driven in his studies and wants to do well, with the goal of Engineering, but his younger sisters weigh heavily on him. The brother had to be moved to the boys home because of his age, but he doesn't like it. The sisters miss him terribly. The middle sister K. is having trouble focusing on her studies and he worries about her. The youngest sister R really does pretty well, is following the rules, is a little fiesty but now her grades have fallen a bit too. These sisters need the influence of their big brother to be successful.
There is no fee to see their photos on our website (go to www.wacap.org and select waiting children for a password to see htme). There is no fee to see their whole file. Contact FamilyFinders@wacap.org WACAP (www.wacap.org) is a non-profit adoption agency1-800-732-1887 .

FINANCIAL AID:The total aid for eligible famillies will be up to $23,800 (including promise child grants, first and second sibling fee waivers, and an additional grant). If eligible for the grants,then families will be responsible for paying $4900 plus homestudy, immigration and travel expenses.

TIMEFRAME & DEADLINE:Families must start their homestudy by September, and have a completed homestudy/dossier by November in order to get them home before they will have to be separated for adoption.

More details on the children:

The oldest took a break from school to take care of her mother until she diedHe is now back in school and studying and his favorite subject is chemistry.He wants to be a doctor and an engineer.He speaks very good English.He is quiet and likes to read.
He was a great caregiver to his mother.He is a very caring person.

The middle sister K. (age 13) has some struggles with her classes.She does want to be a teacher when she grows up.
She is very sweet but with a strong character. She is sociable but needs structure.
The youngest sister R. is (age 8). She loves to sing and attends church every Saturday and Wednesday.She has a feisty personality but is quick to apologize. She is funny and playful.She has many friends and is very good friends with another little girl in the home.

They definitely would do well with seasoned parents who could offer much love and lots of structure!The ID is BKR.0294.16170.07 A statement of being able to support the childrens'Christian faith would be appreciated by their care-giving organization.
