Reason I ask is @bold.
Not sure in India or rest of the world. In USA, some cases they are in foster for few months while the parent are in out of rehab or in group home. So it goes by month to month. My formal colleague works for the state doing just this. Where she has to visit each of her cases to see if the parents are allowed back their child. The parents have to show that they have job, apt, and child will have their own room, will attend school regularly. She has to report to court that yes the parents meet the requirements to get their child back. Even after they get their child back, she keeps a check on them once a month to see if parents are following through with their promises to do right by their child and that 2nd chance.
To answer your question yes, in some cases it says not to adopt. Some times the court gives the parent time to get their child back after they put their kids up for adoption as well. I have seen kids ask their foster parents to adopt them too. Sadly once the kids are in foster care here in USA, it isn’t easy for them to get out and back to their family from what I have seen and friend confirmed.
Some cases parents get their child back but some times they don’t. Unless a parent signs off on adoption, they can’t adopt, or on rare occasions, Helen has said she has recommended the foster parents adopt because kids are better off with them over their own drug-addicted parents, who are not getting cleaned. Foster parents have expressed interest in adopting and the child being older wants it too. In those rare cases judge has stripped the parents of their rights meaning the foster family can adopt or they are now in the state adoption system. @bold
