Section 1027-A. Placement of siblings

When  a social services official
  removes a child pursuant to this part, such official  shall  place  such
  child  with  his or her minor siblings or half-siblings who have been or
  are being remanded to or placed in the care and custody of such official
  unless, in the judgment of such official, such placement is contrary  to
  the   best  interests  of  the  children.  Placement  with  siblings  or
  half-siblings shall be  presumptively  in  the  child's  best  interests
  unless  such  placement would be contrary to the child's health, safety,
  or welfare. If such placement is not immediately available at  the  time
  of  the removal of the child, such official shall provide or arrange for
  the provision of such placement within thirty days.
