I am also a special ed teacher. These kids can be wonderful and many people are waiting to adopt them.
Check out NATHHAN (i think it is) anyway it is a site about homeschooling special needs children and it also have a list of people waiting to adopt special needs children. so try searching for special needs homeschooling.
When I worked at a state residential school many students were in foster care from there. Part of the reason is because so many of these kids get taken off the adoption list and put on permanent foster care. It really is not fair to them, as their are people wanting to adopt these kids.
I work for the regular public school system now and we see most of the foster kids in ED programs, not the severe or autistic program (of course that may be that the milder kids can function in regular foster care.)
There are people out their who would adopt the child. Giving them over to social services is not a good idea.
