I believe that the bmom is given a certain amount of time to comply with a course of treatment. If she does not complete this course of treatment then ss will ask that her rights be terminated. She will be notifyed and if she shows up the judge can give her an extension or terminate if he chooses. Alot of times they will give an extnsion.... Depends too on how the bmom's situation is at the time of court. Good luck and hang in there. It is fustrating... SS will tell you their goal is reunification, but it breaks your heart when a parent isn't trying or trying just enought to keep these poor children caught up in limbo. Praying that it works out for you.
