Adopting without fostering? - Adoption.com Forums


Adopting without fostering?


we're in this to adopt, only adopt and have been approved since December 2009. Our agency called with a sibling set that TPR has not happened on, the goal is relative placement and they wanted us to take them because it's probably going to adoption because relatives "probably" will not step up. TPR isn't even scheduled to be considered for another 6 months.

Never mind the discrepancies between the siblings and our home study tolerances, setting that aside, I'm very upset that our worker is angry with us because we will not accept placements without TPR.

She basically said unless we change our mind, this is the end of the road for us

I don't get it, this is the FIRST time they've EVER said that's what it would take to get a placement.

How many of you have adopted WITHOUT fostering first?
