Summary:
Two infant brothers were placed in the claimant's home with the purpose of adoption. Theodore was placed on March 25, 1998 and his brother's placement took place four days prior. Commission ruled that the placements were made at substantially the same time and comprised, therefore, a single placement. The BOR concluded that the placements four days part were separate placements and separate adoptions. Error in law ruled the Umpire. The four day period is not a significant period of time and it must follow that the two placements were made at substantially the same time.
