A pre-adoptive family who intends to adopt, accepts the placement of a foster child before termination of parental rights, TPR. In these situations permanency through adoption is aggressively pursued; the child is not legally free for adoption; there is a risk that the child may be reunified with their birth family; the child is not eligible for adoption assistance until TPR; and many families may agree to become temporary foster families solely for the purpose of receiving financial compensation until the adoption assistance agreement is established at TPR.
