What causes family to be denied? - Adoption.com Forums

Where I am:

Yes, "too far from bios to allow visits" can disqualify family.

"Emotionally close" would be an unusual disqualifier, but if the court felt strongly enough that the family member would violate the visitation order (e.g., allowing parents to have unsupervised visits, when not yet allowed), maybe.

"Physically close" -- unless they're sharing a residence, not an issue.

This really varies from state-to-state and judge-to-judge. In some place, "blood trumps all", in other places, greater consideration is given to the existing bonds.
