6. If I accept a placement only to learn the child will likely be moved, can I request an immediate end to the foster care arrangement?

If you do accept a placement and it becomes apparent that reunification or placement with another resource is likely, please make every effort to continue caring for the child until the permanent plan is achieved. It is extremely detrimental for children to be moved from home to home. Requesting the removal of foster children under such circumstances, or demonstrating a marked inability to work toward the permanency plan, will result in a re-evaluation of your eligibility to provide foster family care.
