Let me see if I can find it again.. haver you asked the child's lawyer for information? I know that some of the laws have recently changed. But it was not 12 months.. it is actually - if the child is in care for 15 of the last 22 months they should be working toward TPR. But that means that at the 15 month mark the SW'er needs to fill out a "show cause" document saying all that they have tried to get the child back to the parents.. then it will go to a committee to make sure that everything has been done to try.. But usually the plan goes to "family placement" at the same time to see if any family can take the child. If not, then once the show cause hearing is complete and they have enough to go to TPR you will get court dates and move from there.. this all takes about 6 to 8 more months after the show cause documentation has been done.
How old is the child you are asking about? are the parents involved? are they following the plan? that will all make a difference
