We were told that DCF (in MA, at least) doesn't like to TPR one child at a time. Although there are cases where one child is RUed (or left in a birth home) and another child is TPRed, we were told that it is usually in cases where the child that is being TPRed has special needs that the birthfamily can't meet.
If that is NOT the case with your situation, I would ask LOTS of questions and speak with the DCF lawyer handling the case about how strong the TPR case really is for your foster child. At the least, it may be difficult for DCF to prove that the birthparents are fit enough to care for one child, but not another.
Also, if you have had the baby for a while, as about having a bonding study done.
