Introduction
[1] This is an application by a father, Mr N, on behalf of his daughter T, who is
four years old. Mr N wants T to have direct contact with her half-sister F who is five
years old. F has been adopted outside the maternal and paternal families. Her
adoptive parents, her parents, do not approve of F having direct contact with T at
present but they are content to leave that possibility open for the future and to
maintain indirect contact in the meantime.
