California AB1270 aims to ensure siblings in foster care are assigned the same social worker when a family intends to adopt them as a group.

California AB1270 amends Section 16005 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to require that siblings in foster care be assigned to the same social worker when a prospective adoptive family intends to adopt them as a group. This provision ensures that the siblings receive coordinated support and advocacy throughout the adoption process. The assignment may be waived if the local agency determines it would not be in the best interest of the child or the siblings.
