After have my first 3 placements RU'd after only two weeks, I decided to call the homefinder and tell her that we want to be on the foster to adopt list, not just the emergency/short term list. I was unaware there were different lists for foster parents, but apparently we were only getting calls for short term placements and that was why.
So I told her we are willing to do both types of care, we would just like to keep a child for more than a few days or weeks at a time, and hopefully adopt eventually.
Here's my dilemma... We are only approved for two kiddos. What if we have a one or two short term emergency placements and they find us a preadoptive placement during that time? Will they let us know or will we not be considered unless our home is empty? If that happens, do we take the foster to adopt placement and send the other kids back?? I dont want to put myself in a situation like that, but I also dont want to have my home empty while I wait for who knows how long to a preadoptive placement.
