Keeping Siblings Together

We have siblings now (half-siblings) that we are fighting to keep together. We have had the older a year and the younger since birth (they are 2 and an infant). I never really bought into the "sibling bond" thing until I saw these two. There is family that wants one of them, but not both. It's upsetting to think about them apart, but the judges here consider family above all else. We have argued that they are SIBLINGS and therefore by keeping them together they are living with family, but no one wants to hear it. :mad:
