For example, if older siblings were sexual predators (learned behavior, but still), for example, I can't see how continued exposure -- at least in the short term -- will benefit the abused sibling. Perhaps later, when they are old enough and healed enough to move past the past.

But ordering visitation poses many issues - like does the adoptive family have restrictions on moving out of the area? It seems like there is open adoption, closed adoption and the courts in Jersey trying to figure out a third path.
