The applicant sought a review of the respondent's decision not to place two sibling children with her for adoption.
The respondent raised preliminary issues regarding the Board's jurisdiction over one child and the potential involvement of the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
The Board found it lacked jurisdiction to review the decision regarding the first child, as that child had already been placed for adoption with another family.
The Board also declined to request the involvement of the Office of the Children's Lawyer for the second child, finding the child was too young to express views and preferences.
