Foster/Pre-Adoptive Feedback/Advice Needed

Not with an infant but my no 19 yo and his siblings were removed due to molestation by bf to older siblings. I'm in NY and during MAPP classes, case workers talked about targeted children-one child in a family who would be abused. One example is Dave Pelzer. He was targeted and subsequently removed from his birth family. Hope this helps.. but we were also taught to not get our hopes up until the judge bangs the gavel. There could be family members who come forward.
