Give siblings in care the right to maintain contact after adoption — 9 signatures. Status: rejected.
Change the law so that children in care do not automatically lose contact with siblings who are adopted. Siblings should have their views considered and, where safe and appropriate, have the right to maintain meaningful face-to-face contact and relationships after adoption.
When a child in care is adopted, their brothers and sisters can lose meaningful contact with them. I have personally experienced this with 3 siblings. One was adopted when I was 2, and at 14 my twin brother and sister were adopted. I now only have 2 letters a year and no face-to-face contact until they are 18. This petition calls for stronger rights for siblings to maintain safe, meaningful contact after adoption.
