A Court Challenge on Siblings' Rights: The Practice of Severing Relationships After Adoption is Under Scrutiny in N.J - Politics News - redOrbit: "Apr. 6--For four hours every other week, a 3-year-old girl in New Jersey's foster-care system visits her biological siblings who live in a different home.
As long as the child remains in foster care, the visits will continue. But when she is adopted, the visits will stop.
This practice of severing siblings' relationships -- common in child-welfare agencies nationwide -- is being challenged in New Jersey's Supreme Court.
At issue is whether the state should allow the visits to continue after adoption and, if so, how to implement the changes in a way that respects the rights of adoptive parents to raise their children freely."
