I am a foster parent whose had the child since he was three months. The parents right were terminated. He was eligible for adoption months ago. He is still in my home. We have a great bond, he's thriving, and meeting all of his milestones. Now grandma who lives in Mexico wants him. There is also a step grandfather who has siblings wants him too. What can I do to be sure he stays where he's at?

How likely is it for a child to be sent to another country with a grandparent. The child has been in my care for over a year now.
In Oregon, the likelihood depends on various factors:
