Many families take the foster classes and go into a foster to adopt status. They only accept children to foster that are free for adoption and they would consider adopting. I don't know about this is your state but you might check into it. My guess would be that the reason you were not accepted may have more to do with not being approved foster parents then some of the other things you mentioned. Perhaps the other placement could take the children for foster care prior to adopting them. You might tell the social worker for the children you are still interested and ask her (or someone at your local DFCS office) if your chances for adoption are better if you get approved to foster. They propably won't discuss the specifics of their current decision but they might be willing to offer information in general that would be helpful. (This assuming your state has a foster to adopt program).
