    Sibling custody
    My husband was put in foster care, his mom had another child about 4 years ago and is going down the same path she did before, I was wondering if there is anything we would be able to do to get his 4 yeard old brother to come live with us? We have a stable living condition he is in the army and I have flexible working hours? Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Family is almost always a first choice before the foster care system. Speak with the mother about taking guardianship. If she refuses but the child is heading into the system, contact the child welfare department and express your desire to foster your husband's sibling.
