[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fostering to adopt process is underway.  I really do not like our agency (doesn't return calls, unhelpful, etc) and I would like to switch to another agency.  I have a placement in home.  The goal has been switched from reunification to adoption, but I think it will take awhile for the process to go through.  Can I switch agencies in this situation?[/quote]
Just out of interest, how old is the child, how long has he/she been in foster care and who/how do they determine the switch to adoption as a goal?[/quote]

Why does this matter?[/quote]
Curious to know what goes on behind the scenes.
What criteria they use to determine that family should not be reunited, how much power do they have. What if errors are made during the process.
Does the family have any rights after the decision to switch has been made[/quote]

Google foster care/adoption and see the rules.  There is no straight answer for each child and family.  Until the TPR is final, the adoption goal can change back to reunification and reunification still can occur.  The foster-adopt families technically have no rights.[/quote]
