Thanks again!

Even though the parents may be TPR'd, as long as the state retains legal custody of the child, then the same rules will apply until you sign the adoption papers. At that time the child is legally yours and you can home school. It all depends on who has legal custody of the child or if the state agreed you could then homeschool. We took permanent managing conservatorship(legal custody) of our 2 yr old daughter from the state and we could homeschool her if we wanted now. Her adoption is not complete yet.
