Hi my name is Thomas. I was a child in care for 8 years. Together with my mom, I am fighting to create stricter policies around sibling connections and keep siblings together. It is best practice to keep siblings together and it has been proven to create the best long term results for kids. I am fighting to be considered a close blood relative even though I am adopted. My adoption doesn’t change my DNA or the importance of my relationships with my siblings. Please consider joining my fight to change ministry and local CAS policies. Please sign my petition.
