In my state where I am a child protection worker if I had this same situation on my case load - the "dad" would get a case plan to complete to show that he can and does want to parent his child. We also have statutes in my state that say relatives be looked for and evaluated for perm. placement of the children. If the dad did not complete his case plan and his mother is a viable option to raise this child - in my state we would likely place with the grandmother. Since mom is already TPR, she has no say in this. However, we would also look to her relatives as well.
Just my experiences in my state
