[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 690372, member: 1550"] Ouch, they prefer it here too and also in Illinois. A child is only available for adoption to strangers if no family is capable or willing to take the child in. Last I heard aunt was trying to adopt niece and get a subsidy. She really could have used one. Single mom and she already had custody of other nieces and nephews...we helped her out for a while. Not sure if she ever got the subsidy. Grandparent would be way up there in preference if parents are declared unfit. This happens in court. CP S would have to go before a judge. We've been there. Judge usually honors CP S decision but it does have to be legal. And if parents fight it, it can take a long time, just like any custody battle. We sat in court with foster kids many times while bio. parents tried to keep their parental rights. [/QUOTE]
