adopting through CAS

The CAS was not at all helpfull in the reunion and I think they should have been. I am now continuing my search for the rest of my siblings and hope someday to at least find a few. If I may make a suggestion: If you decide to adopt and adopt an older child and if that older child has siblings I beseach you to allow contact if at all possible.
