After sitting through PRIDE training it was our understanding that after a year rights can legally be terminated, shorter if the bios are doing nothing. Our precious "daughter" has been with us for a year and 6 months and we are still waiting for something to happen! She has never had any visits, never even saw bio dad and neither bios have done anything to indicate they want her. She has felt like our own from the very first time we met. I guess I'm just getting anxious...this is our first time adopting and our first child ever! We just want to make her legally our own! Anyone have any positive outlooks???

Wow, that is a long time for nothing to have been started...has her case been moved to the adoption unit? No mention of a tpr trial? I know the standard time is 15-22months, so you are right within that time frame... I would see if you can get some concrete answers from the adoption unit as to what exactly is going on...

I would also push to see what is going on.
Call child's CW,and if child has LG,contact her.She does not have to tell you anything,but she might.
Call CW's supervisor,and dont let them put you through to voicemail....tell operator you want the CW/supervisor paged......you have to be pushy sometimes with them.
Call your CW,and tell her you want to know what is going on....and dont just call once and wait....call them several times.
You have to push them,or else they will stonewall you.
Good luck to you,and I hope it works out for you:love:

Thank you for your responses! Yes, her case moved to adoption in January and I was told by the LG back in October of 2012 that it was pretty much a done deal tht she'd be staying forever. But now we just seem to keep going back and forth. We were told again in May that they were ready to move forward but, again, we seem to be moving at a snail's pace! A hearing is set for Sept. 5th that we are required to attend and I'm meeting with the CW today. Hopefully we can get some solid answers. If not, I will defnitely be giving the LG a call; she is very sweet and has been patient with my questions in the past! So anxious! At times we almost forget she's our foster daughter!
