What if the agency has reason to believe that a child will be returned home shortly after placement in foster care?
If your family is interested in adoption, the agency will make every effort to avoid placing foster children in your care when it is anticipated that their return home is imminent. The same policy applies if it appears likely at the time of placement that there is an appropriate and interested relative resource available. However, this information is not always readily available at the time of placement.
