Can a biological parent regain custody after losing a child to foster care?
A biological parent can regain custody if they lose a child to foster care. There is a specific period of time during which the biological parent can establish that they’re willing to undergo certain steps: training, support, treatment for substance abuse, etc. If they express their willingness to undergo those steps, which are mandated by the court, and finish them in a timely manner, the child may be returned to them and they will regain custody.
