What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
My husband and I became foster parents specifically for 1 child that we were led to believe that we were gonna adopt. After several months and a great deal of heartache that child was placed with a family member who should have never been approved to take her. In July we met the relative and have since developed a relationship with her, she has told us on several occassions that she want's to give us the baby but none of us trust the local DFCS office to place her with us. We were threatened early on with if we didn't back off and stop going up the chain of command in this case they would place her in an adoption pool and none of us would get to see her. So my question is this.... Since we were child specific and the relative wants us to have her does DFCS have an obligation to place her with us or can they actually place her somewhere else?
