| Introduction |
Since it is important for a child to be in a
permanent home as soon as possible, the Department may seek prospective adoptive parents
for a child not yet freed for adoption. The intent is that the child will be legally
freed and that the placement will be permanent, but that cannot be guaranteed to the
adoptive parents. However, a determination has been made that the child is in emotional
jeopardy and must have the stability and commitment that a "legal risk" family
can provide. |
