Section 19-7-202 - Legislative declaration(1) The general assembly finds and declares that it is beneficial for a youth placed in foster care to be able to continue relationships with the youth's siblings, regardless of age, so that siblings may share their strengths and association in their everyday and often common experiences.(2) The general assembly further finds and declares that it is the responsibility of all adults involved in a youth's life, including but not limited to county departments, parents, foster parents, guardians ad litem, counsel for youth, court-appointed special advocates, next of kin, treatment providers, and others, to seek opportunities to foster those sibling relationships to promote continuity and help to sustain family relationships.(3) Because the number of family foster homes in Colorado is often insufficient to meet the needs of youth, including sibling groups, it is, therefore, Colorado's goal to continue to recruit foster families and build resources sufficient to meet this need.Amended by 2022 Ch. 92, § 32, eff. 1/9/2023.Amended by 2019 Ch. 216,§ 2, eff. 8/2/2019.L. 2019: Entire part added with relocations, (HB 19-1288), ch. 2234, p. 2234, § 2, effective August 2.
