. A licensing agency may authorize a foster family home to
provide 24-hour care for up to eight foster children, for the purpose
of placing siblings or half siblings together in foster care. This

as defined in subdivision (i) of Section 17710 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code.

home specializes in the care of sibling groups, that placement is
solely for the purpose of placing together one sibling group that
exceeds eight children, and all of the above listed conditions are
met.
