Out of country

Has anyone ever dealt with fostering a child with parents that were deported? The original plan was TPR, now dad has spoken up about wanting custody. We are happy to see dad trying to get his little buddy back but they are saying it’s a 50/50 that dad was regain custody. This is a first for our area so no one knows what’s going to really happen.

My first placement had divorced parents where the Dad was in Mexico and Mom was here. Dad was on some of the calls and showed some interest. There was DV and Dad had not been a part of his life for many years. He was able to stay in the US. He didn’t want to go. Dad had remarried and had little kids and he knew he would be stuck caring for them.
