Or , is the child with a different private.?

Honestly, I have gotten very shady answer on this one from the Adoption Worker Supervisor. IMHO, they (county) were not prepared nor knew what to do for "adoption" only families. So, as I understand it, a small section of families chose to stay as "adoption only" with the county and did not transfer their foster licenses. So, the last few kids I got info on was in September and I think the AWS "forgot" that I was transferred out. Maybe I am paranoid and they just haven't had any more littles available. It is pretty rare. Since I have been trying since May 2011, there have been 5 under 5. But, she also gets reports from other counties and forwards them out, and I havent gotten any of those either. A lot of the smaller counties have a higher percentage of kids going to adoption because they have fewer foster homes and if the foster families adopted all of the kids, they'd have no foster families. [not sure if I explained that right]

So, let me try to rephrase what I believe is the options.

A.) Maintain my FOSTER license and inherent Adoption homestudy with the private agency where the focus will be on FOSTER only, or they will assist with an adoption if either a.) it is the child I am fostering or b.) I find one on a photolisting

B.) After one year, I can close my FOSTER license and transfer my ADOPTION homestudy back to county and wait for just a legally available child. (I don't think they place legal-risk in adoption only homes as that is why I got Chubbs, because I was foster/adopt.)

And, I have to be "foster" in order to take in a sibling. So, it is quite a dilemma for me to be honest as I am only keeping out my foster license until Chubbs is about 3.
