RobinKay, In my experiece with foster care, which admittedly is not much, it is RARE that birth families want the kids. I know that's not always the case, but I do think it's the case the majority of the time. I've had maybe 20 kids in my home this past year (mostly emergency or respite care), and only 1 child had family that wanted him. He was the 8th child of the birth mother, and her sister had already taken of her kids. She had several of her own and lived in low income housing. She could not afford to keep taking the children. They just happen to find a relative on the father's side who was already a foster parent. I was sad to not adopt him, but glad it was a relative placement.
