After dealing with the system for awhile....knowing others who have had equal nightmares of RAD and such.......my feeling is once the child is taken from the bios......the time is 6 months....period.
Wouldn't matter the age of the child, what had happened, etc. In six months, the parents would have had to have completed all of what was required...period. No, 'last minute stuff'...no 'gee, I didn't have the time'....no!
I have had friends who have been involved with monitoring of visits and caseworkers. All have said that you can tell the parents that really and truly want their children back by the second or third visit. The others just play the game.
Six months is plenty of time---if you really want your child back...and certainly time enough for the system to do their paperwork...because, IMO...any time after that-----is damaging to the child.
But, I forget to remember that this system is nothing about 'the best interests of the child'....it's all about the parents......(Grrrrrrrrrrrrr)
Sincerely,
Linny
