But, every foster parent knows the risks, loves unconditionally, and supports RU as the main goal. The fact is, that many kids don't go home to their bio families, for whatever reason. And yes, there are many foster parents that foster until their forever child comes into their lives. Hence the term foster/adopt. RU is always first and foremost for all foster/adopt homes but they are still hoping to build thier families. Nothing wrong with that at all.

I'm confused. Isn't that what I said??? I know not all foster/adopt situations do lead to adoption. I know cause my niece was in a foster-adopt home however the SW lied to the FP's about eligible family and that they could adopt her. They did eventually move Alexis here. So, just because you are foster-adopt doesn't mean you adopt either. And you still need to know that RU is always the main thing to expect. And as with any RU situation there is always the potential to lose the child to bio family! So, I'm confused as to why you disagree with me?
Maybe the OP was strictly a "foster" home and not a foster to adopt home. Maybe that is why they are moving the child again? I'm curious as to what was told to the FP's when they placed the child with them? And maybe if they contact the SW there and do an adoption home study and let them know their intentions they may be able to adopt this child or maybe they already had adoptive home options before putting the child in a foster only home but that didn't work out. Now the child is being moved to one of the previous adoptive homes. Maybe the OP can clarify this.
