Yes, the main group of Imaginary Friends ARE up for adoption. Indeed, as Cassini already pointed out, Wilt actually passed up a golden opportunity to go live permanently with his now-very rich creator, in the lap of luxury, as it were, because he said he believed that somewhere out there, maybe not even born yet, there's a little boy or girl who really needs him, and his best chance of ever connecting with that kid is to remain at Foster's.
On another forum, TV.com, I believe, if my memory serves me correctly, Lauren Faust stated the reasons why no one has adopted Wilt, Eduardo, or Coco. Most children(and probably a lot of parents)can't see past Wilt's missing arm and messed-up, blind eye; to them, he's like a broken, useless toy, either that or they're a little bit creeped out by his appearance. His response to Mac and Bloo staring at him in the pilot indicates that he's gotten a negative reaction to his appearance many, many times. Also, in spite of what he told Jordan on the flight back to Foster's, Wilt seems to have gone out of his way NOT to be adopted, and instead tends to put the happiness of other Imaginary Friends before his. In "World Wide Wabbit", for example, he states on camera that there are lots of Friends more deserving of adoption than he is. Eduardo, due to his size and his tendency towards panic attacks, is like the proverbial "bull in a China shop"(her words, so I don't know whether that was a pun or not), and because of that, even if he DID get adopted, the new family would bring him right back as soon as he wrecked their home after encountering a spider or something! And Coco...well, most folks think she's crazy, too unpredictable. At that time-and keep in mind this was at least three years ago-Lauren said that those three main IF's would always remain at Foster's, and would never be adopted, but at that same time, she also said that they would never reveal what had actually happened to Wilt's arm and eye, or that they'd have any romantic relationships on the show, or that they'd make episodes that were "dated", in other words, occurred within a particular time sequence, yet since then, they've done all three, so who knows? Maybe the show's finale will have all three being adopted, though to be honest, I'm very ambivalent about that. I'd love for all three to be happy, but I'd also like to know that they will always have a secure home there at Foster's, where they'll always be appreciated.
