[quote=Anonymous]There isn't a foster to adopt "program", per se. It is possible to adopt from foster care, which is what I'm doing right now in MD. However, Social Services in MoCo speak a different language. The first goal is reunification. Foster parents are expected to be foster parents. Only if reunification is not possible might you then have the opportunity to adopt the child. My suggestion is that you attend one of the informational sessions that your jurisdiction's social services most likely offers prospective foster parents. They will be happy to answer your questions honestly and to tell you the circumstances under which you might be able to adopt from foster care. [/quote]
