Good job, Brandy.

I actually find the agencies/attorneys who aren't explaining that the TPR time "limit" is a MINIMUM requirement. For example, just because the law states that a woman has 72 hours to sign in PA DOES NOT MEAN that she HAS to sign at the 72 hour mark. It means she can't sign BEFORE the 72 hour mark and can take as long as she needs to sign. I wasn't told that; just told to sign on the line at 72. The laws can be "good" but the agencies can still be unethical. And that's what sucks.

That said, states that don't even have minimums (or twelve hour minimums) for TPR, I agree, are barbaric.
