In recent years, the child welfare field has devoted significant attention to siblings in foster care. Policymakers and practitioners have supported efforts to connect siblings via shared foster placements and visitation while researchers have focused on illuminating the empirical foundations of sibling placement and sibling intervention in child welfare. The current paper synthesizes literature on sibling relationship development and sibling issues in child welfare in the service of presenting a typology of sibling-focused interventions for use with foster youth. The paper provides two examples of current intervention research studies focused on enhancing sibling developmental processes and understanding their connection to child welfare outcomes. The paper concludes by presenting an emerging agenda informing policy, practice, and research on siblings in foster care.
近年来，儿童福利领域对寄养中的兄弟姐妹给予了极大关注。政策制定者和从业者支持通过共享寄养安置和探视来联系兄弟姐妹的努力，而研究人员则专注于阐明儿童福利中兄弟姐妹安置和干预的实证基础。本文综合了有关儿童福利中兄弟姐妹关系发展和问题的文献，旨在提出一种针对寄养青少年的以兄弟姐妹为重点的干预类型。本文提供了两个当前干预研究的例子，这些研究专注于促进兄弟姐妹的发展过程，并理解它们与儿童福利结果的联系。本文最后提出了一个新出现的议程，为寄养中兄弟姐妹的政策、实践和研究提供参考。
