Case involving the placement of a minor who was placed in foster care shortly after birth. The question before the appellate court was whether foster parents who have had a minor in their home for more than a year have a statutory right to intervene in placement proceedings under the Juvenile Court Act. The court answered the question in the affirmative, reversed the trial court order denying intervention, and remanded for further proceedings. (McBRIDE and BURKE, concurring)
