I am in a county east of you. I started out in your county. Dfcs is trying to keep children with their birth families and not pull them into care unless they absolutly need to. If you go the foster/adopt route you prob wont get many placements. If you open as a foster home you may get placements that at some point are available for adoption. I know there is an assesment done at the start of any case and they will ask you if it came down to it if you are open for adoption. The assesment is done through an outside agency. I always thought it was a crazy question because I am strictly foster and would never know until down the line how I would feel about that child and adoption. In your situation it would be good. They generally, in my experience, want to make sure if you are willing to adopt if it came to that. You can pm if you'd like and I can answer specifics for you if you would like.
