    Want to adopt
    We are a safety resource for two small children and we are pretty sure we will be getting long term custody in the near future due to the fact the parents have not and will not complete a case plan and the mother is in jail and will be there for a while. My question is once we get long term custody can we adopt and if so how do we go about doing this?

    Talk to the agency that is overseeing the case, they can advise you better than we can.

    No all long term children can be adopted, many are held till the parent may latter get the child back.

    So no you will have to talk to the agency on this specific case
