1. There are alot of GREAT foster parents out there; don't feel obligated to take the child. The state will not put a child in a home unless they know they will be taken care of.
2. From everything I've seen, if parents get their kids taken away from them in the first place (if for a legit reason and not some bull crap lies from other people) then they really aren't cut out to be parents in the first place. It actually takes quite a bit for the state to step in and take a child away from their parents. You could give them the car if you want, but it won't help them in getting their child back. If the state is considering terminating their rights then it's pretty much a guarantee that even if they would somehow make it to the classes it won't chage anything. If you have a car sitting around that you don't need and is paid for, and your feeling generous then give it to them. If, however, you can't realistically afford to give them the car, then I'd say don't.

This pretty much sums it up.
It would be different if they were closer and everyone actually got along. To me she's desperate and grasping for straws and sees your husband as her last go to. I would think long and hard before agreeing to adopt.
