(a) A "legal risk placement" exists when you: (1) Have a child that is not available for adoption because his parent(s)' rights have not been terminated; (2) Have placed a child into a home that has been jointly verified as a foster home and approved as an adoptive home; and (3) Intend for the placement to change from foster care to adoption once the child is eligible for adoption. (b) A "legal risk placement" does not exist when you merely place a child with foster parents who want to adopt the child but have not been approved as an adoptive home.
