Re: sibling rights?
She needs to talk to the social worker for her sister about setting up visits. Before she enters foster care her sister should make sure she knows how to contact her and any other relatives and friends that she wants to stay in touch with. I take it that she isn't able to make a home for her sister. The fosterparents may not want the visits to be at their home at first so be prepared for short visits in a room at the office. Whatever is offered take it and make the best of it. Don't get sucked into complaints about the fosterparents. After living with a neglectful/mentally ill parent they will seem pretty restrictive.

If CPS is involved did they consider her for placement? Any other family memeber available for placement? Call me directly at 16192223504.
