No, if they're asking you to sign them over, you don't have to. But that doesn't mean that you'll keep those rights (they can be terminated involuntarily if you aren't meeting your case plan)

They're suggesting that because they think it's in the best interest of the children; In general, that would be because they believe that you have no (or very little) chance of meeting your case plan, and that stringing the children along with hope that you'll eventually be able to take them home is more harmful to them than finding a new, permanent home for them.
