Ohio Abandonment court case!

Man how I wish my county, (I am in Ohio) would get the lead out and pull the trigger on cases here that are clear cut abandonment. Our baby foster has been here going on 17 months with 9 months at least of no contact from bio mom. And 5 months no contact with bio dad. And yet....they filed PC...not for abandonment for other reasons when they could have easily proceeded long before with abandonment as the reasoning. I have a foster family friend that has an almost 4 year old (who has been in the system over two years and mom hasn't had a visit and yet they still are waiting....on what?
