In general, if you receive a call from any office other than the Adoption Unit in TRENTON, the chid's case plan (at that time) is reunification.

Many children who start out with a case plan of reunification go on to be adopted but it is a long, emotional and uncertain journey. This journey is not for everyone.

If you want only an adoptive placement, specify that you do not want to foster/adopt. Know, however, that this may make your wait longer as (I believe) most children in NJ are adopted by their foster parents.

Perhaps some more experienced FP/Adoptive parents will also respond.
