Well... 3 days before we were to be licensed for foster care...an amazing opportunity for a private adoption happened for my husband and I...
We decided to do the private adoption instead and brought our baby girl home from the hospital at 15 hrs old..I am a nurse on the unit she was born at..I work in Labor and delivery and with newborns so they allowed me to take her home early.
Now my path has changed
But..as far as foster to adopt...you need to let them know that is what you want to do...then you will get an adoption social worker and they will place you with an infant or child that they believe will be adopted. They try not to move the kids any more than they have to..at least that is what I was told. I was working with very nice SW's except for one in particular and as soon as she found out we were doing a private adoption..she refused to license us for foster care...but she was a B*#@ to us through the whole process. It's a shame she did that because we were willing to still do some foster care in a few months...now the children will suffer.
I hope I answered your question.
