It was 4 years in Nov 2010 since FS came to live with us as he was abused at 2 months of age. PTR happened in May 2010 but BF appealed and we have been waiting ever since. FS and our family have a right to closure and NOTHING should ever take this long to be resolved. We are now waiting for a date for oral argument in superior court. God only knows how long this will take. We love him and he loves us and he has not even seen his BF since May 2010 so he would be devasted if for some reason this appeal was not upheld. I am praying so hard for this to come to a quick end for us. Some how laws need to change and instead if the laws favoring the Bio parents they need to favor the child

My warmest wishes!!
for what's it worth, my TPR took 4.5 years as well, and in that time, i think i saw my mom 3 time for about an hour. A judge finally said enough is enough... and pulled the plug on her "rights". If you've had your FS for 4 years now, A. Wow! I was moved every 6-9 months!, and B. I think you have everything going for you!
Again... you have my hopes and wishes on your side.

OMG! Four years??? What on earth are they thinking? I'm 19 months and in going out of my mind waiting for TPR trial next month. I can't even imagine how you are feeling.
Best wishes for a speedy resolution.

I hope the time passes quickly for you guys. If it means anything at all, I know that (at least in our area), it is VERY rare for a TPR to be overturned.
It is so wrong that your child has had to wait 4+ years for permanency.

I hate to hijack the thread, but....Can I ask what those 4.5 years were like for you? Did you know what was going on? What did the system do right and wrong in communicating the process with you?
What was the impact of being moved so often?

We sort of knew what was/is going on. Somethings I learned about as they were happening. The system here in PA is horriable at best. No child should be in the system for 4 years when there has been a family waiting to adopt the enitre time. At this point he is my son know matter what the birth cert says but an end to this nightmare process would be wonderful. Everyone in the system I have worked with has been great but the whole process is the problem. If birth parents had to do what we have had to do maybe there would not be so many children in the system.
thank you all for your support
