I think most of the posters are forgetting that TPR may take a while, and the best thing for a child so young is to be in their forever home as soon as they possibly can. Hence the reason for legal risk placements. I do not think it is in the child's best interest to wait until TPR is done for the current placement to decide if they want to keep him. The problem arises if they decide they don't want to adopt and then the child is possibly 2 1/2 years or more old and has to be moved again. Better to move to a legal risk home that is willing to take him or consider yourself a legal risk home and make that decision up front. Remember... we are supposed to be doing what is in "THE BEST INTERST OF THE CHILD".
