My husband and I were just discussing this, and wondered how these dear children would ever be able to be kept together after this is all over.
It's amazing that there are people who are willing to take them in. God BLESS them!
That would be great if they could be kept together. But on the other hand, I have to wonder if that might help or impede their emotional recovery in the short term.
I say this based on the pictures of them all dressed alike, all having identical haircuts, not being allowed to interact or play with other children or go to school, etc. (and God only knows what else if they were sexually abused). It would seem that they were so controlled and abused that they weren’t perhaps able to develop their own individual personalities.
On the other hand, a sudden separation might be additionally traumatizing to them.
It might also be very challenging for a couple to take all of them in together, especially given the age ranges - from 29 years old to 2 years old.
But certainly they shouldn’t be completely separated from one another as I imagine they likely depended on each other for the only emotional support and love and care they received, some ever and many for a very long time.
