Also if she's been in care for 6months and they still are showing no progress....she may NOT be going home. Where i live if no progress is being made then at a year from the time they came into care they will usually have or schedule the Termination hearing. If at that point they see enough progress to extend them mor time they will. But after that they like to move things along very quickly and give the child some permanence.

So start preparing yourself.....for the possibility that this child may not be going home. Be supportive of her parents but also realistic. You can only do so much the rest is up to them, and if they can't get it together than they shouldn't be returned back home because those children deserve better.
