Not when the kids are in and out of care because their parents can't get their act together. When I was majoring in Social Work there was a lot of focus on kids who were removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, drug abuse by the parents, etc.. The foster parents wanted to adopt them but were blocked every step of the way by the birth parents cleaning up their act long enough to stop the adoption process, and then as soon as it was stopped they would go back to their old ways. Those kids had homes who wanted to raise them permanently but because of the parents they were shuffled back home, then back in to care, back home, back in to care. It's not uncommon.
