A: If there is an open dependency case, the placement will need to be approved prior to closing the case. This is especially true if the father has not legitimized the child. You should consult with an attorney to discuss your options.

A: See answer to your other question. You aren't the first to try this, and won't be the last. It never works. You aren't going to game the system, because I promise you that they've seen it all before. You need to work with DFCS, and work your case plan, to get them out of your life. There are not shortcuts.
