A. When two or more children in foster care are siblings, every
reasonable attempt should be made to place them in the same home,
except as provided in subsection B of this section. In making a
permanent placement, such children should be placed in the same
permanent home or, if the siblings are separated, should be allowed
contact or visitation with other siblings; provided, however, the
best interests of each sibling shall be the standard for determining
whether they should be placed in the same foster placement or
permanent placement, or allowed contact or visitation with other
siblings.
B. Siblings may be separated if the court and the Department of
Human Services find that placement of siblings together would be
contrary to the safety or well-being of any of the siblings, and:
1. One sibling has resided in a foster family home for six (6)
or more months and has established a relationship with the foster
family;
2. The siblings have never resided in the same home;
3. There is no established relationship between the siblings;
