Foster Parent Adoption vs. Relative Adoption
Hi All:
Before reading please understand that I am not speaking negatively about bio family adoptions.
We will soon have 2 of our foster kiddos for 15 months. They are moving towards termination. I have heard that at 15 months foster parents have certain rights. I'm thinking that one of those is that at that point if a bio family member (cousin) from another state, that has never even met the kids, comes forward and does a home study that we are on equal ground with them when it comes to adoption. We have had the baby since birth and the other since she was just under 2.
Does anyone have any insight on this kind of situation?
