A legal risk placement is when a child is placed with a prospective adoptive family and the child is not yet legally free for adoption. A child becomes legally free once a parent's parental rights are terminated or the parents have relinquished their parental rights. In the case of a legal risk placement either the termination hasn't occurred yet or it has and is being contested in court by the birth family. You can talk with your county DHR’s social worker for more specific information about legal risk placements.
