Question Looking for an adoptive family...

I am looking for a licensed foster home in any state that is willing to be an adoptive resource for 4 boys, ages 7, 6, 2, and 6 months. I know this is unusual, however, in my area, my coworker has run out of adoptive families that will take all four legally at-risk children. If you want more information, please pm me and I will provide you with the social worker's contact information. Thanks so much.

No, not yet. They really are cute boys! I guess the idea of possibly raising four boys is a bit intimidating. But, we are still looking for an adoptive family to take them all. If anyone is interested or wants more information, pm me and I will provide you with the name of the social worker handling their case. Thanks!

Abbie, do we have any updates on this case? I haven't heard back from the worker with any information?

No updates that I know of. She was at a training for a couple of days and I haven't seen her. Thanks for inquiring again.

Have you found a family yet?

We would be interested, but our Social worker told us we cannot adopt out of state.

The update is that the judge ordered reunification because no adoptive resource had been found. Thanks for asking!

I hope everything works out for those kids but normally they don't reunite families (if there are problems serious enough for them to be taken out of their home in the 1st place) just b/c they can't find an adoptive family so that sounds a little strange to me!

Welcome to NV! The judge who presides over the foster care docket pretty much does what he wants, within the law. Also, the State is not going to make kids legal orphans. Every state has to reasonably attempt to reunify children with their bio parents, unless the children were seriously physically harmed or a sibling died in the care of the bio parents from physical abuse/neglect, per AFSA.
