[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I realize the options are incredibly grim for families without exorbitant funds and I can imagine how difficult it could be for you and your other children. To your question, yes it is possible to terminate parental rights. I used to work with adoptive families to try to prevent disruption in families who were struggling, but we were not always successful and sometimes parents would terminate rights and the child would return to the foster care system. Adoptive parent's parental rights are the same as biological, so termination is the same. The child goes into the foster care system and while adoption can happen, that is not a likely scenario. A group home is usually the most likely scenario.

I agree with others, getting the school to pay for residential was usually the most helpful to families but I realize it is a long haul to get there. And if things are going ok in school it might be impossible. I wish I had better ideas for you.
