They can't really "pick" but they can voice their choice to DCF and the GAL. Our SIL voiced her feelings about our niece coming to live with us and since our niece and her biomom were very attached it helped somewhat. DCF and CASA felt the transition would be easier if my SIL supported it and the move. At the goodbye visit my SIL voiced how happy she was that our niece was moving with us and that my husband (her brother) was a very kind soul. Ultimately DCF made the final choice along with CASA and then the Judge.
