Fostering Sibling Success Act: Establishes rights for siblings in foster care, including placement together and regular family time.
The Fostering Sibling Success Act aims to strengthen sibling relationships for children in foster care by establishing specific rights for sibling youth. These rights include the opportunity to be placed in the same foster home, to be in close geographical proximity, and to have regular family time. The act also mandates that agencies arrange family time between siblings unless it would be detrimental to their best interests. Additionally, it allows adult siblings to be considered for roles such as resource caregivers, adoptive parents, and relative custodians for their siblings.
