High Court grants an order approving the adoption of two siblings who have been in long-term foster care, affirming the children's desire to be legally recognised as part of their de facto family, finding that the statutory requirements were met, despite the opposition from the birth mother, and that the children's expressed wishes for stability and legal recognition of their foster family are central to their best interests.
