I am interested in possibly adopting a sibling set of 2 children. I was hoping for one to be 2 or 3 (or possibly younger) and the other to be an infant.
Also, I would like one or maybe both of the children being adopted to have some kind of special needs such as cleft lip, cleft palate, club hand/foot, etc.
Is there any possibility of finding a sibling set such as this? Is this way too specific for a set to be found that matches our desires?

I do not think that you are too specific in your Desires to Adopt!!
Asia only allows one child Adoptions with sometimes rare exception to 2 with Special Needs.
Everywhere else has drastically changed with the Hague Treaty and is taking years!!
International Adoption is no longer a process where you can just love children!!
It is sad that international adoption has been changed to be so much more difficult :( I know several people that adopted baby girls from China, but this was 10 years ago when the adoption process was much easier internationally.
I just really feel a pull towards these precious children, but (as I'm sure so many adoptive mothers feel) I am frustrated with agencies making it challenging for these beautiful souls to receive the loving homes that they deserve.
I know many people foster to adopt, but I don't think I could handle it. I am way too afraid that the birth mother would come back for the kids during the foster care portion. I would be absolutely devastated if this happened. I would feel like he/she was my new child and would be torn apart if they were removed from my care and given back to the mother/relatives. I have so much respect for foster parents. I think you have to be an amazingly strong person to foster and I don't know if I could guard my heart well enough :(
