Yes, the states want to get foster kids adopted. My mom's parental rights were terminated against both her and my will because the state did not think, at eleven years old, that I needed to keep my attachment to my mom, who is disabled but was never abusive. The money they get from the feds is tied to adoption.
I think what you need to do is call your local human services/social services office and ask about licensing for adoptive parents. I think you got started at the wrong end of the system and just need to talk to someone in your state before you go any further.
