moving out of state with foster/adopt kids

It is not unheard of for a foster child to be placed in another state, but it is rare and usually only with family. Until TPR, the birth parent has a right to visitation. This usually prohibits a foster child from moving out of state. Plus - the foster family would have to have a homestudy completed and approved in the new state. Our son was placed with his first foster family when he was four months. They were a wonderful family and wanted to adopt him. They moved out of state when he was eleven months and he was placed with us. Once he was in our home, we had priority in the choice to adopt. Good luck.
