Your family members probably wouldn't even be allowed to go. I'm not sure what the laws are where you live - but *I* may not even be able to go to my foster son's TPR! I'll only be able to go if he requests that I be there, and may have to leave if his parents request that I *not* be present. In that case, they'll bring me in to testify, but I'll have to wait outside the rest of the time. It is a privacy issue for the parents - I can see the point -they shouldn't have to go through something so humiliating and emotional with a bunch of spectators, and I think some of the testimony in our son's trial is going to be very, very nasty and ugly. I wish *he* didn't have to go, but he is 15 and has a legal right to be present for it all.
