We won't qualify for adoption because my H doesn't have a job. And he's trying real hard to find one. This situation is just so depressing for me. Wish they had "auntie" rights. Do my parents lose their grandparents rights if the girls get adopted? |
I am so sorry, it just seems to be non stop for you right now. Typically in the US family or people the kids have a relationship with are given the first chance to foster/adopt/kinship care. If there are not any of those available they typically go into regular foster care and if parental rights are terminated they are placed for adoption. The good news is that all of this takes some time so maybe by the time they would be available for an adoptive home you may be in your new place. Most of the time adoptions out of the foster care system are “closed” meaning that no one in the biological family has contact with the kids. There are exceptions to every rule though. I adopted my son from the foster care system and then found his birth family and invited them to continue to be a part of his life.
