How exciting! And how great for the siblings that they can stay together.

That is fantastic.
So the state will want to make sure the couple has the financial means, the interest/ability and no adverse indications to qualify.. Please see

https://www.adoptuskids.org/adoption-and-foster-care/how-to-adopt-and-foster/state-information/kentucky#:~:text=Foster%20and%20adoption%20licensing%20requirements,-There%20are%20several&text=Applicants%20must%20be%20at%20least,to%20meet%20their%20family's%20needs.

Often the family must be approved as fost adopt parents and then the children will be placed with them until they are available for full legal adoption.

Please see

Some parents will hire an adoption lawyer to help with the process while others will follow the instructions per the social service rep assigned to their case.
