Can we travel outside of the United States with our foster child(ren)?
Typically the answer will be no. If it is a once-in-a-life-time trip it could be possible for the court to allow for the travel but it is very unlikely. If you’re a foster family, we suggest using your network of respite providers. If you’re a pre-adoptive family just wait until after you finalize.
