What is the Sibling Information Exchange Program?
SIX provides an opportunity for former dependent children to stay in touch and exchange information with their siblings (brothers and sisters). It includes adopted children and those in foster care, group homes or residential treatment centers.
Who may participate in the Sibling Information
Exchange Program?
18 or older and a former dependent child. 17 or under and a former dependent child. If under 18, your participation must include your adoptive parent, guardian or biological parent if he or she has legal custody of you and is not involved in a current juvenile court dependency case. Over 18 and you are the sibling of a former dependent child.
Is information about me Confidential?
Yes, all information about you in the dependency case and contact information after your case is dismissed is confidential. Only the court may release this information. The Confidential Intermediary may review your information but must keep all information confidential. It is only to be used to arrange contact between you and your siblings or for sharing information between siblings.
