Why would a child be made available to a family in another state for adoption?

Children that have been placed in the state foster care system and have become available for adoption are only available for interstate adoptions if all state avenues have been exhausted. There are however some situations where it is in the best interest of the child(ren) to be placed outside of the state in which his/her biological family resides. Adoptions outside the resident state of the biological parents are very common in private and independent adoptions.
