Re: family

This is a pretty complex issue. I do not think that there is a statutory law in PA that says that siblings have a visitation right but if it is in the child's best interest and does not interfer with the rights of the parents you may be able to obtain rights to visit your siblings. I suggest that you go to an attorney or PA Legal Aid and speek with an attorney about helping you. You can find information on PA Legal Aid at palegalservices.org.
