Unless you plan to foster-to-adopt?
All of ours had TPR's when we took placement. However, their cases were under appeal and it took about 9 months for that to go through the courts. During that time, we were considered their foster parents (that was a huge pain! the kids didn't know what was going on, and we weren't allowed to talk to them about any of it!).
It's about as low risk as you can get, but there is still a risk.
Oh, and we just happen to fall into this situation. I'm not sure how many times this happens everywhere else.
