If I am allowing a birthfamily member to visit my lil' one after TPR, does anyone know if I can utilize the visiting room at DCFS? I know they have security and it's a great location for biofamily (they live right by it). I wouldn't need a social worker to supervise. Anyone know if this is doable? And if so, is it allowed after adoption?

call the county worker...I think they do this at times, but don't know how it works when you adopt from the county through an agency.

You definately should be able to. That's where I've had my regular visits weekly (it never went to unsupervised). I would also take extra precautions if this will be the "goodbye" visit as for some bioparents they may not have anymore incentive to be on good behavior. Depending on the situation, you may want to think about a monitor.

I am with an agency and I was thinking that if we are in that situation, that TPR is granted and we have to have a final visit, I may have our FFA caseworker take my fd because I don't know if I could handle it and my fd loves this caseworker so she wouldn't be afraid.
