How long does a foster child stay with you?

All we had to do was "update" our homestudy when we adopted. Whatever the workers tell you about how long they will stay is only a "guess". They very rarely know exactly how long. As far as who you want placed with you we can indicated that on our paper work here. But if I were you I would take placements no matter if they are free to be adopted yet or not. Some cases that they swear are going back, don't. And some cases that they say are going to be terminated on relatives can show up and take them or something in the case changes. Unless you only take children that are TPR'd with absolutly NO relatives there is never a sure thing. As far as how long ours have stayed read my signature. The shortest was overnight. They just get longer after that. God Bless and I pray everything works for you soon!
