A family in our ccruhh was a foster parent to a baby who was born in prison. The family was signed up with a group who foster to adopt children born in prison. I don’t know the name of this group or anything like that. But they were taking in children of parents who were in jail. The couple hoped to foster to adopt a baby.They ended up adopting a little boy. They had him from not long after he was born. I think he was in prison with his mom for just a few days. The mom did not want him. So he was placed with this family. He was actually with the family for 2yrs I think. Then the mom was released. She got her son back saying she changed his mind. It lasted less than a week though since she was caught again on drug charges put back in jail losing custody of her son. The family then adopted him.This was about 10yrs ago in GA. That is all the info I know. I did some Google searches and found nothing on any group that fosters babies born in prison. I think these days the baby are more likely to stay with their moms in prison so the moms can bond with their kids.That is all I know on the subject. I do hope to some day foster to adopt. I looked into this too and all I know is you have to take classes go through a process to be approved as a foster parent. There are a lot of foster kids out there who need a home. Most of them though are children. One woman I spoke to on the phone about this told me here in GA there is a wait of about 5yrs for a baby in foster care.

Hi, Adoption is basically the same presocs in all 50 states, the first step is deciding where you want to adopt through and to start a home study. A home study is a presocs that takes several months and includes items such as background checks, parenting classes, a financial review, home checks, meetings with a case worker and lots of paperwork. The state foster care system have both foster-to-adopt and waiting children programs. Most children who enter the foster care system are reunited with their parents or families. This is the goal of foster care, reunification of the child with the parents. With the foster-to-adopt program, If the parents rights are eventually terminated or relinquished and there is no family to take custody, the foster family can adopt the children.Waiting children are those whose parental rights have been terminated, relinquished or are in the presocs. These children are literally waiting for permanent homes, many are sibling groups.Our home study took about 3 months to complete and our first child was placed almost immediately. We set our preferences for waiting children and in less than 6 years we adopted 5 children. The oldest child placed with us was 4 1/2, the youngest was 2 days of age. When you adopt through foster care, the fees are nominal.Once a child’s parental rights are terminated by the courts in the US, the parents can not regain parental rights. Wishing you all the best !.
